Decade-long demand of beneficiaries to be fulfilled
The Union Health Ministry has sanctioned ₹7.8 crore towards the construction of a wellness centre and laboratory in Avadi for beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS). A letter was sent by CGHS Additional Deputy Director General G.D. Paliya to the Additional Director, Chennai, on March 24. This has been a long battle for CGHS beneficiaries from Avadi, which began in 2006, and culminated in the setting up of a dispensary in a building on the Heavy Vehicles Factory premises. Currently, the dispensary has 17,000 beneficiaries from the localities around Avadi. This includes employees of the Central Vehicle Research and Development Establishment, All India Radio and Central government pensioners from Pattabiram and Tiruvallur.
