Shimla, Aug. 31 -- Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that the state government is working to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic services at all medical colleges in the state. "Modern equipment worth around Rs 500 crore is being installed at these medical colleges. Such advanced machines are currently available only at AIIMS in Delhi. Similar facilities are not yet available even at AIIMS Bilaspur or in cities such as Ludhiana and Jalandhar," said the chief minister while inaugurating a public health camp in the Kangu area of Nadaun Assembly constituency on Sunday. He said the installation of modern technology and equipment at medical colleges would strengthen diagnostic services and make it more accurate, enabling people to receive the right treatment without delay. He said in addition to medical colleges, the state government is also appointing specialist doctors at all 70 Adarsh Medical Institutions so that people can access better healthcare close to their homes. The CM said that the Congress government is committed to the welfare of employees and pensioners, while the BJP is "merely indulging in politics" in the name of employees and pensioners. He said that full arrears, leave encashment and gratuity had been paid to pensioners aged above 67 years. He further announced that Class-IV employees who retired between January 1, 2016, and January 31, 2022, would be provided an additional amount of Rs 20,000 over and above their salary arrears. He said that directions would be issued to remove the condition related to basic pay for Class-I, Class-II and Class-III pensioners. Following the removal of this condition, all eligible pensioners would be paid 35% of their pending arrears. With this payment, a total of 57% of the employee's arrears would stand cleared, he added. He said that the state government would also provide Dearness Allowance (DA) to employees in due course. Sukhu has once again lashed out at the previous BJP government for leaving Himachal "burdened with massive debt". Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the inauguration of a public health camp in the Kangu area of Nadaun assembly constituency on Sunday, the CM accused the former BJP government of ruining Himachal's financial health. The CM's statement comes at a point when the government is in process of raising a loan of Rs 700 crore to meet its committed liabilities and development needs. The state's loan has already crossed Rs 1 lakh crore. The CM also assured all possible help to trace Una engineer who went missing in Nepal floods. Sukhwinder Rattan, 32, a resident of Una, has been reported missing following floods in Nepal. He works as an engineer for a company in Nepal. His father, Hussan Lal, said he had contacted the Una District Disaster Management Agency, which approached the authorities in the Centre to seek assistance in locating his son. Sukhu said efforts are on to gather necessary information regarding Sukhvinder's situation....
