"Create awareness against Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome. If some patient of JE/AES comes directly to BRD Medical College, principal and commissioner should see which district he came from and whether proper treatment was provided to the patient at district hospital and local health centres and fix accountability of officials and staff. Ensure that there is sufficient oxygen supply in hospitals and JE/AES master trainers should be made ready to give training at district level," the CM said.
He also flagged off a 100-scooter rally. The scooters are meant for female cops of the 'Sherni Dasta' squad to help in their patrolling duties.
