The DC assured that she would take up the issue with private hospitals on priority basis, along with urging non-government organisations and other social organisations to assist the district administration financially so that needy people could be helped, conducting tests free of cost.

Sawhney also directed officials to start a dedicated 24x7 helpline for providing information about the status of disability certificates.
