During the visit to the hospital, the DC inspected various sections of the hospital and took stock of the healthcare facilities being provided to the patients.

The DC interacted with the medical staff and emphasized the need for maintaining high standards of patient care, hygiene, and timely medical services.
He directed the concerned officers to ensure the availability of essential medicines, proper functioning of medical equipment, and improved patient facilities at the hospital. He also stressed the importance of strengthening healthcare delivery at the grassroots level so that quality medical services are accessible to the people of the area.
Following the hospital visit, the DC chaired a Public Darbar at SDM Office Khansahib. The darbar witnessed participation of a large number of residents from different areas of the sub-division including Khansahib, Arigam, Asthan Mohalla, Waterhail, Shinnipora and other adjoining villages.
Addressing the gathering, the DC emphasised the need for 100 percent saturation of Government welfare schemes, ensuring that the benefits of various flagship programmes reach every eligible beneficiary without any exclusion.

The DC further directed all officers of the district to frequently visit different areas and provide real-time solutions to the genuine demands of the public. He instructed the ACD Budgam to identify land for playfields so that every Panchayat has its own playing facility.
