Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said Bastar is one of the most beautiful places in the world and its people are more beautiful.
But even after loads of goodness there are shortcomings. They are malnutrition, anaemia and malaria and all these are linked together. So eradication of malaria can help to eradicate malnutrition and anaemia.
Chief Minister on Saturday was participating in the ‘Malaria Free Bastar’ drive organised at Karli Police Line at Dantewada district.
He further said, “Success is being achieved with participation of all in Chief Minister Suposhan Abhiyan. Now we had started Malaria Free Bastar drive in Bastar revenue division since January 15. These days even after contamination, malaria, symptoms are not seen, thus the need for further probe.”
Making an appeal to all, he said health workers are reaching out to each village and house, so cooperation is necessary. Prevention is also the need of the hour for which use of mosquito net, clearing stagnated water and other steps should be taken, he added.
Industries and Commercial Tax (Excise) Minister Kawasi Lakhma said Chief Minister has launched all major programmes from Bastar and called upon all to extend all cooperation in these drives. Local MLA Devati Karma also addressed the gathering.
