AAP’s flagship mohalla clinics on Delhi health minister radar, he promises action if corruption is found

“I believe 30-40% of these mohalla clinics never even open for the public… If we find any loopholes and corruption, action will be taken and the person concerned will be charged…,” he said.

Asked if he, as a minister, has launched an investigation into mohalla clinics, Singh said, “Yes, you can definitely say that… This is an investigation and action will be taken…”

The health minister also said they will rename the mohalla clinics as Ayush Arogya Mandirs.

“We will upgrade and develop all the clinics constructed on government land and make them better with facilities like Ayurveda and daycare systems… We will invest in it and generate revenue… Delhi will see a big change and development in the coming 100 days,” he said.

Singh will visit Rao Tula Ram Hospital on Saturday. “I will also meet doctors to understand the current situation and the problems they are facing in the hospital… I’ve also sought a status report on the hospitals under construction and other pending projects…”

Singh, who is also the Transport minister, said free bus rides for women on DTC and cluster buses will continue and the city will see 11,000 electric buses in the next year. “We also discussed the misuse of funds in the DTC and Transport department in the last 10 years. I will work on bringing the DTC out of revenue losses,” he said.
