Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, the Chief Minister, inaugurated a newly constructed building near AIIMS in Raipur’s Tatibandh area today. The building has been constructed by Shrigahoi Vaishya Samaj Raipur for the accommodation of patients and their relatives during their stay at AIIMS. On this occasion, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Maithilisharan Gupta, the national poet, and commended the society for its commendable and pious work.
The Chief Minister congratulated everyone on the inauguration of the new building and emphasized that other societies could also benefit from the upliftment and development of social buildings and dharamshalas. The building will prove to be very useful for patients coming from Chhattisgarh and other states outside Chhattisgarh. Patients and their relatives often have to wait for a long time for treatment, and this building will help solve their problems and provide much-needed relief.
The Chief Minister lauded the society’s work, saying that it is of high-quality human service. He also stated that any society without land can acquire it for social works by paying a fixed amount. He further added that the land should be registered in the name of the society, and assistance would be provided for constructing the building.
The programme was presided over by Dr. Shivkumar Dahria, the Urban Administration Minister, and attended by several distinguished guests, including MP Sunil Soni, Parliamentary Secretary Vikas Upadhyay, Chairman and MLA of Chhattisgarh Housing Board Kuldeep Juneja, MLA Brijmohan Agarwal, and Raipur Mayor Ejaz Dhebar.
