UP govt to ensure housing and medical support for needy: Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said the state government would ensure housing for the needy and extend adequate financial assistance for the treatment of those suffering from serious illnesses.

During his visit to Gorakhpur, he heard grievances of people at a ‘Janata Darshan’ programme held at the Gorakhnath Temple.

Addressing the gathering, Adityanath said the government is committed to ensuring that every eligible and needy person benefits from welfare schemes and that all public grievances are resolved effectively.

He interacted with around 100 people and listened to their complaints individually at the Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhavan premises, an official statement said.

The chief minister directed administrative and police officials to ensure time-bound, fair and satisfactory redressal of issues.

He also instructed the police to take prompt and strict action in matters related to law enforcement.

During the interaction, a woman raised her concern regarding lack of housing, to which the chief minister assured that she would be provided a house under a government scheme.

People seeking financial help for treatment of serious ailments were also assured that lack of funds would not hinder medical care.

Adityanath directed officials to promptly prepare estimates for advanced medical treatment of needy patients and ensure timely assistance.
