Cashless Healthcare for Journalists
During an event in Gorakhpur, Yogi Adityanath highlighted the importance of journalists who play a crucial role in society. He stated that while these professionals advocate for the rights and well-being of many, their own healthcare needs often go unaddressed. To bridge this gap, the state government plans to offer cashless treatment to accredited journalists.
The government has set up a system at the Press Club in Gorakhpur, where eligible journalists will receive identity cards and accreditation certificates. By doing so, the government seeks to enhance their security while also ensuring that they are connected with appropriate medical services quickly and efficiently.
Adityanath emphasized that this initiative is part of a broader effort to unite all types of journalists on a single platform, ensuring equal benefits for everyone in the journalism sector. This move comes as Hindi journalism celebrates its 200th year since the launch of the first Hindi newspaper, Udant Martand.
According to Yogi Adityanath, this development is not just about immediate relief; it's about recognizing and valuing the contributions these professionals make. The accreditation process will enable journalists to receive prompt medical treatment in case they are ill or injured while working.
