UP govt screens 27 lakh citizens in special campaign to eradicate TB by 2025
The Uttar Pradesh government has screened more than 27 lakh citizens as part of a comprehensive campaign to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) from Uttar Pradesh by 2025.
Amid speculations of a new political realignment after the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Jayant Choudhary met senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan’s wife Tanzeen Fatima and son Abdullah Azam Khan.
This meeting comes days after several Muslim leaders from the Samajwadi Party came in support of Azam Khan, who is lodged in jail and accused party president Akhilesh Yadav of not taking a stand on Muslim leaders who are being targeted by the BJP government.
