Chandigarh: In a significant step fulfilling one of his key election promises, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has announced free dialysis services for chronic kidney patients across all government hospitals in Haryana. This initiative marks the first major move by the new BJP government after Saini took oath as the state’s Chief Minister for the second time on October 17, 2024.
The free dialysis program, a part of the BJP’s electoral manifesto, addresses the critical financial burden faced by kidney patients, who often spend up to Rs.25,000 per month on dialysis treatments. By covering these expenses, the government aims to provide relief to thousands of patients who rely on long-term dialysis for survival. Saini signed this policy into action immediately after assuming office, declaring it as a top priority for his administration.
Additionally, the Chief Minister revealed that the state would promptly implement the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that allows states to create sub-classifications within the Scheduled Castes for reservation purposes. This move is expected to provide more targeted benefits to marginalized groups within the SC category, ensuring equitable distribution of resources and opportunities.
Saini’s government is also focused on strengthening law and order. During a press briefing, Saini warned criminals operating in the state, urging them to either reform or face stringent action from the government agencies.
