7-yr-old gets Rs 5L from CMRF for treatment of rare skin condition | Bhubaneswar News
Bhubaneswar: The eighth session of chief minister’s public grievance hearing programme organised on Monday provided immediate relief to several needy people, including a seven-year-old girl from Boudh district.
The girl, Pratyusha Giri, accompanied by her father Heramba Giri from Boudh district, received financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for treatment of xeroderma, a rare skin condition.
The family of Pratyusha had met chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi in Dec last year. The CM, upon seeing the child’s condition, sent her to Capital Hospital first and then to SCB Medical College and Hospital for immediate treatment.
However, as the child’s condition continued to deteriorate, the family, along with the child, met the CM again on Monday. Following this, financial assistance was provided to them. The CM also assured them of a house under Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana.
The session also witnessed the CM’s swift response to 16-year-old differently-abled Alok Kalase from Balangir, who was immediately transported via ambulance for medical treatment, with additional support promised through the CM Relief Fund.
Highlighting the programme’s success, CM Majhi revealed an impressive 81% resolution rate of cases since the programme’s launch on July 1, 2024. “Out of 8,031 complaints received in the previous seven sessions, 6,545 were successfully resolved,” he said.
He said resolution rates showed consistent performance, ranging from 90% in the first session to 47% in the seventh, with remaining cases under process. “Today’s session saw approximately 1,000 registrations,” he said.
He said 1,000 registrations included 30 persons with disabilities, who received attention on priority. The CM, accompanied by cabinet members and senior officials, personally attended to complaints and directed immediate action where necessary.
Speaking to the media, Majhi encouraged people to first approach district-level grievance cells for immediate concerns, reserving the chief minister’s cell for more complex issues requiring higher intervention.
The session was attended by key govt officials, including health minister Mukesh Mahaling, industry minister Sampad Chandra Swain, and secretaries of different department.
