LG: Claims that Farishtey scheme halted misleading
Hindustan Times
|December 17, 2023
Lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena has rejected allegations by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government that the Farishtey scheme has been stuck due to non-payment of pending bills, calling the claims “misleading”.The development comes days after the Supreme Court sought the response of the LG on an AAP petition to operationalise the scheme.
Under the Farishtey scheme, envisaged in February 2018, the victim of a road accident can go to any hospital and get free treatment. It casts an obligation on the state government to reimburse the private hospitals for the cost of treatment incurred, a programme that has helped save lives of road accident victims who need urgent medical care within the first hour of accident.
On December 8, the Supreme Court asked why two wings of the administration are fighting with each other, as it sought the response of the LG on the AAP’s petition — that the scheme was stuck due to non-payment of pending bills worth over ₹7 crore — and posted the matter for hearing in the first week of January.
The LG, in a letter to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal dated December 14, said that the scheme and its operationalisation are under the health and finance departments — both areas under the jurisdiction of the elected government.

'WE SHOULD STOP USING THE TERM PAN-INDIA ACTOR'
Priya Mani Raj, who is set for the release of The Family Man Season 3 next month, has worked in both regional and Hindi industries, but is averse to the tag of “pan-India actor”. Expressing her disapproval, she says, “We're all Indian at the end of the day. You get work in other industries, and that's a good thing, but you don't call someone a ‘regional actor’ when they come from Bollywood to the South. For years, actors from both sides have worked across languages. Why are we suddenly labeling them now? Accept us for who we are and for the characters we play.”
