    Mira-Bhayandar, Maharashtra [India]: Today marks a groundbreaking milestone in Maharashtra’s healthcare sector as Mira-Bhayandar residents gain access to free medical facilities through the introduction of a unique initiative – mobile medical examination and a medical ambulance. Spearheaded by Mrs. Geeta Bharat Jain, MLA of Mira-Bhayandar, this visionary program was unveiled in the presence of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

    Seeking medical assistance has often required individuals to visit hospitals and clinics, creating an additional burden for those with limited financial means and compromised health conditions. To address this issue, Mrs. Geeta Bharat Jain has undertaken a pioneering initiative. The launch of Maharashtra’s first-ever medical ambulance aims to bring medical services directly to the doorsteps of Mira-Bhayandar residents.

    Honorable Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde inaugurated the medical ambulance on Sunday. The ambulance will provide the residents of Mira-Bhayandar with free access to 60 medical tests and online doctor consultations. Moreover, plans are underway to open 10 Aapla Dawakhana clinics in Mira-Bhayandar. This comprehensive approach will significantly enhance the medical services available to the local community and alleviate the challenges of travel and time for patients.

    Speaking at the ambulance inauguration ceremony, Chief Minister Mr. Eknath Shinde commended this pioneering initiative as a testament to the government’s commitment to its responsibilities. He expressed his hope that the people of Mira-Bhayandar would fully benefit from this service and maintain their well-being. Mrs. Geeta Bharat Jain, the local MLA, emphasized her determination to extend government benefits to every citizen, ensuring access to medical facilities in their own neighborhoods amidst rising healthcare costs and the need to travel long distances to avail government services.

    The medical ambulance is equipped with a medical kiosk that can perform basic tests on patients within 10 minutes. The test results will be promptly sent through WhatsApp, and patients will have access to their reports online. In cases requiring further medical intervention, the doctor present in the government hospital can engage with the patient through the screen installed in the ambulance, initiating first aid based on the online reports. Subsequent medical steps will be determined by the patient’s health condition and prognosis, including the possibility of advanced medical tests, if necessary.

    Furthermore, every person availing this service will receive a medical card, and their reports will be available online indefinitely. Future plans include integrating patient data with the Ayushman Bharat Card for seamless healthcare coordination.

    The two ambulances, built at a cost of approximately Rs 35,00,000 from the government fund of MLA Mrs. Geeta Bharat Jain, signify an initial investment in meeting the medical needs of the community. Considering the anticipated demand and the importance of ambulances, there are plans to expand the fleet in the coming days. Each ambulance will be staffed with a driver, paramedical personnel, and a technician, ensuring comprehensive care during emergencies.

    The ambulance inauguration program witnessed the esteemed presence of MP Mr. Rajendraji Gavit, MLA Mr. Pratapji Sarnaik, MLA Bharat Sheth Gogwale, Thane Collector Mr. Ashokji Shingare, Commissioner of Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation Mr. Dilipji Dhole, Mira Bhayander Vasai Virar Police Commissioner Mr. Madhukarji Pandey, BJP District President Mr. Ravi Vyas, District Head Mr. Raju Bhoir, Mr. Purvesh Sarnaik, honorable corporators, corporators, office bearers.

    • It has been demand of every time period that we look for new possibilities in religious tourism and strengthen the links between pilgrimage and local economy: PM
    • The destructive powers, the thinking that tries to establish an empire on the basis of terror, may dominate temporarily, but, its existence is never permanent, it cannot suppress humanity for a long time. This was true when some attackers were demolishing Somnath, it is equally true even today, when the world is apprehensive of such ideologies: PM
    • The Country is moving towards amicable solutions of difficult problems. A bright pillar of the glory of modern India is coming up in the form of Ram Mandir: PM
    • For us essence of history and faith is SabkaSaath, Sabka Vikas, SabkaVishwas and SabkaPrayas: PM
    • Arrangement of our four dhams, the concept of our Shaktipeeths, the establishment of different pilgrimages in different corners of our country, this outline of our faith is actually an expression of the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’: PM
    • Country is reviving the ancient glory by building modern infrastructure: PM

Sardar Patel linked Somnath Mandir with independent spirit of independent India. Shri Modi said that it is ‘our good fortune that we are taking forward the efforts of Sardar Saheb in the 75th year of Independence and imparting new splendour to Somnath Temple.  The Prime Minister also remembered LokmataAhilyabai Holkar who renovated several temples from Vishwanath to Somnath.

    Reflecting on the history of the revered temple, the Prime Minister recalled the repeated destruction of the temple and how the temple rose after every attack. ‘It is a symbol of the belief that truth can’t be defeated by falsehood and faith can’t be crushed by terror.’ “The destructive powers, the thinking that tries to establish an empire on the basis of terror, may dominate temporarily, but, its existence is never permanent, it cannot suppress humanity for a long time. This was true when some attackers were demolishing Somnath, it is equally true even today, when the world is apprehensive of such ideologies.”, the Prime Minister insisted.

    The Prime Minister said that  reconstruction of Somnath temple to grand renovation is due to centuries of strong will and ideological continuity. ‘Great men like Rajendra Prasad ji, Sardar Patel and KM Munshi faced difficulties for this campaign even after independence. Still, finally Somnath Mandir got established as divine pillar of modern India in 1950. The Country is moving towards amicable solutions of difficult problems. A bright pillar of the glory of modern India is coming up in the form of Ram Mandir’,  he said

    NCP leader counters ‘fiefdom’ jibe from Ajit Pawar-led faction, says Sharad Pawar ‘stood behind you like a rock’

    The recent allegations against NCP leader Sharad Pawar received severe criticism from NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad. Ajit Pawar-led faction of the party allegedly targeted Sharad Pawar, and accused him of running the party like a “personal fiefdom”.

    Defending Sharad Pawar, Jitendra Ahwad responded to the allegations with an emotional message. He emphasised how Sharad Pawar continued to support the faction despite being accused of running the party like a “personal fiefdom”.

    “It is not a question of technicalities and legalities, the question is about sensitivity. Sharad Pawar is the man who raised you and stood behind you like a rock. You used words that he was running the party like a personal fiefdom; these words are contradictory to Sharad Pawar’s character,” Awhad said while speaking to reporters in Nagpur, reported ANI.

    “Sharad Pawar has never done anything beyond democratic principles,” he added.

    Jitendra Ahwad was responding to queries a day after the Election Commission of India (ECI) called the rival factions of the NCP for a personal hearing over claims on the party name and symbol.

    After the rebel by Ajit Pawar, the National Congress Party split into to divisions. Now, its one faction is led by Sharad Pawar and the other one is led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.

    Ajit Pawar-led faction had rebelled against Sharad Pawar and moved to the Election Commission. His faction is claiming over the party name and symbol.

    Ajit Pawar led faction faction knocked the doors of the Election Commission in July this year. The faction is staking claim to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the party symbol amid a feud between the two factions.

    Subsequently, the EC wrote to both factions of the party acknowledging the split. It also directed both Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar to share documents, submitted to the polling body, with each other.

    In July, the EC responded to a plea filed by Ajit Pawar and issued a show-case notice to the Sharad Pawar-led NCP group. In the petition, it was claimed that Ajit Pawar should be declare NCP president and should be allotted the party’s symbol as per the provisions of the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968.
