On Thursday, Collector K.M. Sarayu visited the home of Chithra at Ammaneri panchayat here with a 10 ltr oxygen concentrator and an order for monthly assistance of ₹1,500. For the seamless functioning of the oxygen concentrator, the Collector also instructed Tangedco officials to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the household.
The local primary health centre was instructed to provide medicines on a monthly basis under the Illam Thedi Maruthuvam scheme. Further, 108 ambulance facility was alerted to provide emergency services on call for treatment.
The Collector also instructed the rural development officials to seek a gift deed for laying a concrete road in place of the narrow dirt track to the house of Chithra.
