Though the Sebaashray camps in Diamond Harbour have come to an end, people being serviced through the camps still continues, with 11 people undergoing eye surgery.
Abhishek Banerjee, national general secretary of Trinamul Congress and MP from Diamond Harbour in his X handle wrote “In Diamond Harbour though this chapter of Sebaashray has come to an end, our sacred mission of healing presses onward with unyielding resolve.”
Eleven people were referred to Renuka Eye Institute and all of them went for cataract surgery. They are all keeping well.
Mr Banerjee further tweeted: “Our pledge to good health for every soul remains etched in stone, an unbreakable vow to uplift, to heal and to unite. Together, let us carry this mission forward, illuminating Bengal’s path with empathy and equity.”
Sebaashray camps, one of its kind in the country, was an initiative to provide free medical assistance to the people living in the areas that fall under the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha seat. Health camps were set up in all the seven Assembly segments. They were Maheshtala, Metiabruz, Budge Budge, Bishnupur, Falta, Satgachia and Diamond harbour. Camps were held for seven days at each constituency. Again follow up camps were held in each constituency. Mr Banerjee had visited the model camps. The visitors were given medicine free of cost. Diagnostic tests were conducted free and in case of emergency they were referred to private or state run hospitals.
Sebaashray camps were first held in 2024 and taking the cue from its success Sebaashray 2 camps were held.
Sabaashray camps have also been held in Nandigram in East Midnapore. The people of the area requested Mr Banerjee to hold the camps. Mr Suvendu Adhikari is the MLA from Nandigram. Mr Banerjee had visited Nandigram and inaugurated the camps.
