Patients dependent on the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) Wellness Centre in Tiruchi complain of lack of basic amenities at the centre. The centre, which was set up in 2019 lacks amenities including specialist doctors, diagnostic centres, and has stopped cashless payments at empanelled hospitals, beneficiaries say. When the CGHS was set up in Tiruchi, employees attached to various central government organisations welcomed the move. Until 2019, they had to travel to Chennai for treatment or referrals. The CGHS is applicable for government employees, pensioners and their family members, MPs, former MPs, and other central government officers and freedom fighters. A CGHS card has to be applied for and following approval, treatment can be sought at the centre. Funds are debited from the compensation of those who opt for the CGHS.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
