He said that at least five to six thousand people come for treatment at Kalyani AIIMS almost every day. As a result, our income increases.
He also said that today is the birthday of Jatin Das. I respect him. Integrated Check Post, Passenger Terminal and Maitri Dwar were inaugurated here today. It may seem like a very small thing. But it proves how visionary our Prime Minister is that he keeps an eye on every detail.
