It was a Health Check-up & Treatment Camp for City Doctors. Now who are this City Doctors? Our regular Doctors start treating once we are afflicted with some ailments. There are these City Doctors who are doing this thankless job of preventing diseases to afflict us. Yes, I am referring our Poura Karmikas, ie., BBMP Health Workers whom we crudely call Sweepers. These PKs everyday without a single holiday sweep our streets, collect the large quantity of Garbage - Wet & Dry - that we produce, and transport. And many of us do not recognise their service. Yes. Citys Sanitation is far from our expectations. But let us recognise these thankless workers who are always immersed in the dirt that we contribute. BJP for Better Bangalore & Forward Foundation jointly organised this Health Check-up & Treatment camp today. Almost all Poura Karmikis, that is women Sweepers have some kind of ailment because of activity they are engaged. Around 170 PKs from Kamakshipalya, Basaveswaranagarand Shivanagara (3 of our 7 Wards in Rajajinagar Constituency) utilised this camp, in which over 16 Doctors rendered their Voluntary Service on this Sunday. Those identified with different problems will be frequently checked and further treatment will continue. In the next few days PKs of 4 remaining Wards, viz., Dayanandanagar, PrakAshanagara, Sri Ramamandira and RAJAJINAGAR will be served. I thank the Doctors, Volunteers of Forward Foundation & BJP for Better Bangalore and our Constituency BJP team for making this camp a success. This whole idea has a humanitarian angle and I commend this endeavour. It is well said ; dont grumble about Cost of living always. Think for a minute, on whose Cost you are living. Yes. These PKs & BWSSB Sewage Workers suffer a lot while striving to keep us in reasonably good environs. Yes. I am already hearing murmurs of protest regarding uncleared garbage, black spots, littering points. Even towards these issues, the above mentioned organisations are spending their energy to present a module. Thank you friends.
