"The Honorable Prime Minister inquired about Professor Anu Muhammad's condition this morning. She has instructed us to take all necessary measures. I have also informed her of everything. This institute will be better for a combined operation. We need orthopedics, I think it will be better if everyone works together on this matter. We want him to recover and return to his workplace," said the minister.
Speaking about the adverse situation due to the intense heat wave, Samanta said, "Today, we talked to the principals of all the medical colleges in the country. We have had a detailed discussion on how the students of the medical colleges will stay in this intense heat and have taken some decisions in this regard.
Most of the classes will be online and instructions have been given to bring patients to the clinics and take clinical classes in rooms with air conditioning. We hope that this natural condition will not last long. It will be fixed soon and we will go back to the normal situation again."
