“People who waste time and engage in blaming each other on WhatsApp should learn from this group,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Rashid Vittla, secretary of MFriends, said that their proposed mobile clinic is a Rs 50 lakh project. It includes doctors and support staff. Laboratory facilities will be integrated with the project. It will also hold 20 medical check up camps in rural areas every month.
