Shivamogga, Apr 24: Health Minister U T Khader regretted that the state government's ambitious Jyothi Sanjeevini' scheme that provides cashless treatment to government staff has not been fully utilised by many departments.

utkhaderHe told reporters on Saturday that only 56% of the state's employees had registered for the scheme so far after the government issued a second circular to raise the enrolment from the earlier 25%. Khader asked the departments to ensure their employees benefit from the scheme.

Each employee has to upload his/her KIGD number to the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) through the department concerned. For more details, they must contact 8884004789,he said.

Khader said the government would fill 983 vacant posts, including those of doctors in the health department and in various hospitals by June.

The recruitment process that would be initiated now will take into account posts that would go vacant after retirement. He said contract doctors would be regularised after three years of service.

He also said special programmes had been planned in drought-hit areas to create awareness among people on health. The government would not hesitate to initiate action against fake doctors.

Bengaluru, May 2: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has urged Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to help the farmers in sending their produce to a market here amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The Congress leader made the appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the farmers' issues while visiting KR Puram market on Friday.

Farmers told Shivakumar that the police are stopping their vehicles going towards the market despite the order passed by the Centre permitting the movement of vehicles carrying essential commodities during the lockdown.

"I have received calls from more than 100 farmers in the past few days. Every day, farmers from Kolar, Chikballapur, Malur and many other places come to KR Puram market to sell their agricultural goods, but their vehicles are stopped by the police. The cops do not allow them to sell fruits and vegetables. I request the Chief Minister to look into the matter and help the farmers," Shivakumar told reporters.

"I got to know that more than 50 vehicles were sent back. This government is of no use if they cannot secure the interests of the farmers. This government is not providing required support to the farmers," he added.

The Congress leader was accompanied by MLC Narayana Swamy and former president of Hoskote Authority Narayana Gowda during the visit to KR Puram market.
