Bandi Visits Kondagattu Temple, Launches Janaushadhi Kendra

Karimnagar: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar visited the Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple at Kondagattu in Jagtial district on Saturday and offered special prayers.

He was welcomed with ‘Purna Kumbha’ by the temple authorities and priests. Karimnagar mayor Kolagani Srinivas and municipal corporations were present.

After the temple visit, the Union minister went to Karimnagar and inaugurated the ‘Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra’ at Mukarampura Doctor Street.

Addressing the meeting, he said: “The rising cost of medicines has become a huge burden for the common people. To solve this, the Narendra Modi-led government has set up Jan Aushadhi centers across the country to provide quality generic medicines at much lower prices than branded drugs.”

He said the initiative aims to improve access to affordable medicines, particularly for economically weaker sections, and noted that treatment costs often affect continuation of care.

Referring to Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana, he said the program aims to make essential medicines available in rural areas.

He also spoke about the Ayushman Bharat scheme and said that it aims to ensure access to medical care. He urged youth and entrepreneurs to set up more centers to increase availability of affordable medicines.
