JAIPUR: Congress launched a large-scale relief campaign on the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on Friday. Party state president Govind Singh Dotasra flagged off the relief material at a function held at the party office. Party leaders including former PCC president Sachin Pilot and ministers attended the programme.
The program, however, ignored social distancing and lockdown regulations as a large number of party workers and leaders were there.
Dotasra said the party set a target of distributing 20 lakh masks in 200 assembly segments, 3 lakh sanitisers, 2 lakh food packets, 1 lakh medicine kits, 2,000 oximeters, ambulance and other relief materials to the needy during the campaign.
Speaking on the occasion, Dotasra said the party had set up a control room in Jaipur on April 18 to provide relief to the Covid-19 patients and their families. Similarly, control rooms were set up in districts and at the assembly constituency level. He said through such control rooms 30,250 oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators were made available to the needy. Similarly control rooms helped 31,550 patients to get admission in hospitals.
Dotasra said the party MLAs would arrange two ambulances using money either from their MLA fund or with the help of philanthropists so that at least 200 ambulances are available.
