He directed the officials to ensure hassle-free medical services to dialysis patients and other high-risk patients. Briefing the alternative measures taken to deliver these services, the officials said the services have been shifted to other hospitals as a few hospitals have been declared Covid hospitals. The details of the services in hospitals are being notified to the public so that patients would not face any issues.
The Chief Minister instructed the officials to set up a mobile lab to help testing migrant workers and those who are stranded at various camps of the state. To support farmers of tomato, onion, chili, and other crops, he asked the officials to monitor the marketing and price fluctuations of these crops. He instructed the officials to decentralise Rythu Bazaars and sell the products purchased from farmers in these Rythu Bazaars.
