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.

Tumakuru, Jan 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its allies opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying they are against giving relief to those who have been brutalised and victimised in Pakistan.

"Pakistan was founded on religious grounds due to which atrocities on minorities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Christians have increased. But Congress and its allies don't speak against Pakistan," he said at a function here.

He also said the Congress and its allies take out rallies and stage demonstrations against the efforts to prevent atrocities on religious lines and save women from sexual assaults.

Modi wondered why those opposed to the CAA were not speaking out against Pakistan's atrocities and asked what stopped them from doing so.

Strongly defending the CAA, he said it was adopted by Parliament in a historic move, but that the Congress and its allies and the ecosystem created by his party's rival were now against the very institution.

He said India cannot leave the Hindus, Christians and Sikhs apparently fleeing Pakistan to "their fate" and added it was the country's responsibility to protect them.

Modi pointed out that the efforts are especially to protect the Dalits and tribals in Pakistan.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that the abrogation of Article 370 was a step towards ending terrorism and uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir.
