HYDERABAD: As many as 100
mobile Covid-19 testing laboratories (ambulances) will be pressed into service in all
Telangana districts. Minister
KT Rama Rao, on his birthday, announced that he would donate six mobile testing ambulances to hospitals in various districts.
This was conveyed to health minister
Eatala Rajender, who was at Pragati Bhavan on Friday to greet
KTR on his birthday. Following KTR’s announcement, many TRS leaders also decided to donate 100 mobile testing vehicles to hospitals.
Health department officials said the ambulances are useful in the rural areas where there are no testing facilities and since they have oxygen cylinders and ventilators, the vehicles would be useful during emergencies.
Earlier in the day, TRS leaders organised several programmes on the occasion of the 44th birthday of KTR. Minister V Srinivas Goud launched a programme for issuing online identification cards to artistes and ‘TApp’ for the department of culture services and deputy speaker T
Padma Rao sponsored a wheelchair to a physically-challenged person.
Minister Ch Malla Reddy distributed textbooks to students at Peerzadiguda
municipality and organised a blood donation camp where helmets were distributed to the blood donors. While minister V Prashanth Reddy gifted ‘The Alchemist’ to KTR, his fan U Srinivas gifted a painting which had all his achievements as a leader.
