Sukhbir Badal announces Vaccine Sewa in Amritsar, starts Oxygen Sewa in Abohar
Abohar, May 27, 2021:
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Badal on Thursday said the Shiromani Committee would start Vaccine Sewa at Amritsar on May 29, even as announced further extension of the Oxygen Sewa started by the SAD to more constituencies in the State.
The SAD President was here to start the Oxygen Sewa initiative during the course of which he also released helpline numbers and disclosed that technicians hired by the party would provide and install Oxygen concentrators at residences of needy persons. He was accompanied by senior leaders Dr Mohinder Kumar Rinwa and Rajinder Deepa.
Badal said the SGPC and the SAD were providing vaccines and medical facilities including Oxygen concentrators to the people even as the Congress government had failed to provide quality medical healthcare due to which the mortality rate was the highest in Punjab. He said more than 500 concentrators had been imported and that the Sewa, which had been launched in ten constituencies presently, would be broad based further. He also disclosed that the party was now providing ‘langar sewa’ to Covid patients and their families in seventy constituencies.
Speaking about the Abohar constituency, Badal said it was unfortunate that Punjab Congress President Sunil Jakhar was trying to take revenge from the people for rejecting him in the last assembly elections from this seat. “This is why no development has taken place in this constituency in the last more than four years with even projects which had been cleared and started during SAD tenure being stalled”. He said once the SAD formed a government in the State it would make Abohar an industrial cum medical hub.
Badal also disclosed how the law and order situation had taken a turn for the worst in the Malwa region with gangsters openly extorting money from industrialists and traders. “Sunil Jakhar, who himself was involved in registering false cases against people in this constituency, is oblivious to all this and is keeping himself busy in Pathankot where he is patronizing the sand mafia. This is also why Jakhar has aligned with the chief minister for his petty vested interests”, the SAD President asserted.
Badal also released four helpline numbers for people who wanted oxygen concentrators to be delivered free of cost to their homes – 9877557622, 9216100174, 9815585054 and 9872208044.
