DELHI Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday inaugurated mohalla clinics in the Keshopur Vegetable Market, Shahbad Dairy, Govindpuri, Guru Ravidas Marg and Kalkaji Market, taking the total number of such clinics in the national capital to 533.

The Delhi government said that similar facilities will come up soon in Gazipur, Murga Mandi and Okhla Mandi.

"Several big conspiracies were plotted against the people of the city and attempts were made to hinder the work of the people. But I assure every resident that I will not let any work get stopped," Kejriwal wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The inauguration was also attended by Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, Environment Minister Gopal Rai and Tilak Nagar MLA Jarnail Singh among others.

Addressing the people, Kejriwal said that in the past year, more than one crore people have received treatment in the Mohalla clinics. "Since effective treatment is being provided, even affluent who usually visit expensive private hospitals are now seeking treatment at mohalla clinics," he said.
