In the 33rd phase of the Mukhyamantri's Samipeshu program, citizens from across the state gathered at the official residence of Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha to seek help and discuss their issues.
The Chief Minister interacted directly with the people, listening to their grievances and providing on-the-spot solutions related to medical care, education, social allowances, and employment.
Among the cases presented was Bhaskarjyoti Bhowmik, a resident of Jayanagar, Agartala, suffering from a rare genetic disorder. Facing financial challenges due to the high cost of treatment in Kolkata, Bhowmik appealed to the Chief Minister for support.
