The Story in Brief
Nellore Municipal Corporation, in association with Narayana Medical College Hospital, began a two-day free medical camp for all department employees at the corporation office on Thursday. Municipal Commissioner YO Nandan visited the camp, reviewed the services, and underwent a health check-up.
The camp is part of the Swachh Survekshan initiative under the Union government’s slogan ‘Safai Apnao, Bimari Bhagao’. Commissioner Nandan urged all employees, especially sanitation workers, to use the camp. He said such initiatives help protect the health of workers maintaining public hygiene.
The Indian Opinion
Free medical camps are welcome gestures, but they risk becoming photo-ops unless they lead to lasting change. The real test is whether the corporation will now conduct regular health screenings for sanitation workers, who face daily exposure to waste. How many of the 400-plus employees actually attended, and will the data be used to improve workplace conditions? The slogan asks citizens to adopt cleanliness; the corporation must adopt accountability.
