Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru: Congress leader and former Corporator S. Udaykumar has taken an initiative to establish a Congress party office to redress the pubic grievances in the Munnekolala Ward of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

The office was formerly inaugurated on Friday jointly by folk expert Dr. Bananduru Kempiah, Kannada Sahitya Parishad Mahadevapura unit President T. Veerabhadraiah and political strategist and communication specialist MJ Srikant. 

Dr. Bananduru Kempiah, in his inaugural speech, wished that Udaykumar helped the poor and the oppressed in Munnekolala. He wished the ward turning to a model one the folk singer also rendered a song on the occasion.

T. Veerabhadraiah said that government has increased the wards from 198 to 243 accordingly, the no of wards in the Mahadevapura assembly constituency has gone up from 8 to 13 “Udaykumar, who had been my friend for last 25 years has won from the Munnekolala ward twice, he is a gentleman who is friendly and fair to all being an undefeated leader, he is working for the poor and the oppressed. By winning next time he should convert the Munnekolala ward in to a model one for the entire Mahadevapura assembly constituency” Veerabhadraia while extending support to Udaykumar, wished him to get more responsibilities with status.

S. Udaykumar lamented that it is increasingly difficult to get public work done by the present government, it is too much to expect from the present government its ministers and MLA’s to respond to grievances of the public because they are busy in 40% commission business. The new office of the Congress party which has been inaugurated on Friday will be open to public always, the residents of the ward can walk into the office or approach him to explain their problem and get them resolved.  Exuding confidence that he would get Congress party ticket for the 3rd consecutive time, Udaykumar said the presence of BBMP councilor are very important to respond to public issues.  He recalled that he, Senior Congress leader and MLA Ramalinga Reddy and others had repeatedly urged the government to hold the much-delayed election to the BBMP council at the earliest.  If the present government has faith in democracy it should accelerate the process of election.

On the occasion of Varamahalakshmi festival Friday, Mr. Udaykumar distributed sarees to 300 members of Streeshakti Sangh of Munnekolala Ward.  Recently the Congress leader has distributed sarees to another 150 women.

“The comprehensive transplant program offered by the hospital will be among the biggest in the country.

The sprawling facility in Faridabad Sector – 88 will have a total built-up area of one crore sq. ft. with a 14-floor tower that will encompass the key medical facilities and patient areas. It will be home to 81 specialities and eight Centres of Excellence, including oncology, cardiac sciences, neurosciences, gastro-sciences, renal sciences, bone diseases & trauma, transplants, and mother & child care. The hospital will also have India’s largest facility to tackle infectious diseases. 

 
Amrita Hospital, Faridabad is a substantial addition to India’s healthcare infrastructure. It is one of the country’s largest green-building healthcare projects with a very low carbon footprint, and it is an end-to-end paperless facility with zero waste discharge.

These include awareness programs for the elderly with a focus on those suffering from neurological ailments, health talks for school children, general health checkups, and many more.  

This humongous super-speciality healthcare facility, constructed with Mata Amritanandamayi Devi’s blessings and love, is dedicated to the people of India for healing the sick, helping the needy, and advancing the cause of medical science. This is the second large-scale Amrita Hospital in India after the iconic 1,200-bed Amrita Hospital, Kochi was established 25 years ago by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.  

MAM is focused on alleviating the burden of the poor through helping to meet each of their five basic needs: food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood. With that intention, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad will carry forward the legacy of Amrita Hospitals that began in 1998.
