FATEHGARH SAHIB, March 30 — The Punjab Government has furthered its “Sehat Kranti” initiative by dedicating 109 Aam Aadmi Clinics to the public, moving the state closer to its goal of 1,500 functional neighborhood health centers. AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal joined Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday to mark the milestone, confirming that 30 lakh health cards have already been issued to families out of a planned 65 lakh.
Kejriwal declared that the clinics have become a staple for every village and “mohalla,” providing free consultations and treatment. He stated that the blessings of the people were more valuable than money, noting that 1.65 lakh individuals have already availed treatment through the expanded insurance schemes. The former Delhi CM affirmed that God and the prayers of the poor supported him during his time in jail, which he maintained was based on false allegations.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann used the occasion to contrast his administration’s performance with that of traditional parties. He asserted that the Akali leadership had previously plundered the state and patronized mafias, while his government is rooted in ground realities. Mann stated that the closure of 19 toll plazas has saved the common man ₹64 lakh daily, reinforcing the government’s commitment to returning tax money through development.
In addition to health updates, the Chief Minister launched two major irrigation projects in Fatehgarh Sahib worth ₹41.22 crore. He maintained that these projects, involving the concrete lining of several minors and distributaries, will ensure that canal water reaches the tail ends of fields. Mann declared that unlike previous leaders who prioritized their own residences, his administration has restored thousands of kilometers of watercourses to benefit 41,726 acres across 70 villages.
