The highlight of the programme was a public lecture on Diabetes by Dr Jitendra Singh and provision of free blood testing, free medicine and free medical consultation by a team of doctors.
In his address, Dr Jitendra Singh appreciated the efforts of Pir Panchal and the displaced Kashmiri Pandit Community for arranging such awareness programmes. He said that in the next one decade, the two main challenges will be diabetes in young and diabetes in pregnant women.
