PuducherryPoor Scheduled Caste people suffering critical ailments who
cannot get specialized treatment in the government general hospital
would be given medical assistance for treatment in corporate hospitals
in other states, welfare minister M Kandsamy said today.
Stating this during his reply to views of members of political parties
in the Assembly, he said the government would bear the entire
treatment cost of such patients, provided the maximum amount did not
exceed Rs three lakh.
The Puducherry Cooperative Urban Bank had been authorized to take up
general insurance business also. A survey would be launched to collect
details of the total number of domestic help, to include them as
members in the Building and Construction Workers Welfare Board here.
Workers now getting Rs 80 per day under the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Scheme (NREGA) would be paid Rs 20 more on lines of the wage
system adopted by the Centre, he said.
