Patna, April 14 (NationPress) With Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to visit Madhubani on April 24 for the celebration of Panchayati Raj Day, extensive preparations are in progress to guarantee a seamless and secure event. In addition to heightened security measures, the district administration is prioritizing medical provisions due to the escalating temperatures in the area.
Following the guidance of District Magistrate Arvind Kumar Verma, Civil Surgeon Dr. Harendra Kumar is spearheading a thorough health readiness initiative. This initiative includes the deployment of doctors, health personnel, and medical resources to address potential heat-related concerns.
A specialized team of over 100 expert doctors and health staff has been established to oversee 15 medical camps positioned at crucial locations, such as parking zones and event sites.
Every camp will be outfitted with ambulances, necessary medications, vaccines, and state-of-the-art medical apparatus to manage instances of dehydration and heatstroke. These camps are designed to ensure a rapid response in case of medical emergencies during the Prime Minister's event.
In a proactive approach, Sadar Hospital (Madhubani), Subdivision Hospital (Jhanjharpur), and Araria Sangram Trauma Centre have been prepared with ICU and advanced medical facilities. Furthermore, three private hospitals in Madhubani and one in Darbhanga have been instructed to remain fully operational and ready for action.
To bolster staffing, all doctors and health workers in Madhubani district have been ordered to stay on duty, with leaves temporarily suspended until the conclusion of the event. Teams from both district and state health departments are also performing frequent inspections to ensure preparedness.
The event on April 24, which honors Panchayati Raj Day, is anticipated to attract elected officials from across the nation. Alongside administrative efforts, the focus on medical readiness underscores the government's commitment to public safety during this high-profile visit.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders are stationed at the venue to oversee preparations and gather support. State BJP president Dilip Jaiswal mentioned that MPs, MLAs, MLCs, and party members from 10 assembly constituencies have been assigned to organize the event and ensure its success.
