Mumbai: BJP National General Secretary and in-charge of Goa, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra CT Ravi on Friday attended an event organized by BJP Maharashtra unit’s Healthcare Volunteers Programme for Mandal and Ward level Karyakartas at Mumbai.
The BJP leader took to his official Twitter handle to share the pictures and details of the event on Friday evening. He added that he spoke about the “Monumental work” work done by the Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the COVID pandemic.
But what caught eye was how the COVID-19 guidelines and protocols were violated during the event as was evident from the pictures shared by Ravi himself.
In one of the pictures shared by Ravi, almost all the dignitaries on the diaz were seen violating the physical distancing norms and most of them were even seen without wearing a mask.
Although in one of the pictures Ravi along with others was seen wearing a mask, a few still were without masks and violating the physical distancing.
"Participated in the @BJP4Maharashtra Healthcare Volunteers Programme for Mandal and Ward level Karyakartas at Mumbai. I spoke about the monumental work done by PM @narendramodi Government during #COVID19 pandemic. I appealed to Our Karyakartas to dedicate more time for Nation" he wrote in the tweet.

Belagavi: Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanaparakash Rudrappa Patil on Tuesday said the State government plans to establish day-care chemotherapy centres in all district hospitals across Karnataka to make cancer treatment more accessible.
Replying to a question raised by BJP MLC M.P. Kushalappa during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, the minister said it was not feasible for cancer patients from various districts to travel repeatedly to Kidwai Memorial Institute in Bengaluru. To address this issue, the government is taking steps to establish cancer care centers in other districts in collaboration with the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
Providing details of cancer treatment at Kidwai, Dr. Patil said that over the past three years, 41,512 cancer patients have received treatment at the institute. Treatment included surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Between 2022 and 2024, a total of 12,781 patients underwent surgery, 14,423 patients received radiation therapy, and over 28,370 patients were administered chemotherapy, he said.
The minister further noted that more than 110 patients were provided bone marrow transplants, an otherwise expensive procedure, free of cost at the institute during the same period.
The proposed day-care chemotherapy centers, he said, would significantly reduce the burden on patients and improve access to timely cancer treatment at the district level.
