Call Mob: 90089-51024 for home delivery of medicine kit

Mysore/Mysuru: KPCC Working President and former MP R. Dhruvanarayan on Saturday launched “Sealed Down Hallige, Congress Aasare” (Congress help for people of sealed  down villages)”, a programme to help rural population which is facing difficulty due to the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing a press meet, he said he has been in-charge of nine districts in the State to reach out people who were in need of help as the State Government has failed to respond to their plea. In the first phase, medicine kits will be given to 2,000 COVID positive patients and those in need of medicine kit can call Mob: 90089-51024 for home delivery.

Dhruvanarayan said Varuna MLA Dr. Yathindra Siddharamaiah has donated 2 ambulances, medicine kit for 35,000 people and medical equipments to Primary Health Centres (PHCs). H.D. Kote MLA  Anil Chikkmadu has pledged his land and donated three ambulances and 10,000 medicine kits. Hunsur MLA H.P. Manjunath has donated one ambulance and sponsored music band at COVID Care Centre for the entertainment of patients. 

K.R. Nagar Zilla Panchayat Member Ravishankar has given three ambulances and donated medicine to Taluk Hospital. Nanjangud former MLA Kalale Keshavamurthy has donated one ambulance and medicine. Former T. Narasipur MLA Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa has donated medicine to the Taluk Hospital. 

Similarly, medicine has been distributed in Chamundeshwari and Periyapatna taluk. In all, as many as 12 ambulances and medicines worth Rs. 1 crore  for 40,000 people have been distributed. 

The former MP urged the State Government to provide oxygen pipe link to all PHCs and Community Health Centres in rural areas.  Mistakes being committed in the current second wave must not be repeated in the third wave, he added. 

Anil Chikkamadu said that the Congress Party was doing these things as the State Government has failed to do it. Demand to provide ambulances and medical staff has not been heard  by the ruling party. 

“We had asked for medicines required for 10 days, but the supply exhausted in two days. I saw the plight of patients by visiting Hospitals wearing a PPE kit,”  Anil Chikkamadu said. 

On the occasion, Dr. Yathindra Siddharamaiah handed over four  Oxygen Concentrators and two bypass equipment to Lt. Col. Dr. S.U.  Ashok of COVID War Room.

MLC R. Dharmasena, District Rural President Dr. B.J. Vijaykumar, former MLA Kalale Keshavamurthy, KPCC Legal Cell State Secretary Kavitha Kale and others were present.
