The Health Minister of Delhi said without naming anyone, we are trying to raise awareness.

Here, the Health Minister of Delhi said without naming anyone, we are trying to increase awareness. However, the advertisement about which we had told the department has not been released intentionally. He alleged, I think this is also a conspiracy, so that awareness does not spread among the people and they continue to suffer and get affected by it. Despite repeated requests, advertisements are not being issued in newspapers and on TV. The 10 week-10 hour-10 minute campaign is not being started again.

Saurabh Bhardwaj claimed that why the officers are conspiring and why no action is being taken against them. He said that this is the biggest loss caused to the people of Delhi due to the Delhi Services Bill.
