Kerala Health Minister K. Muraleedharan has accused the Opposition of trying to derive political mileage from the ongoing flood situation by raising allegations against the government, and asserted that relief and disease-prevention measures were being carried out effectively.
Speaking to reporters, the Minister said the Health Department was taking measures to prevent the outbreak and spread of diseases in relief camps and affected areas. Rejecting allegations that relief camps were facing a shortage of medicines, Mr. Muraleedharan said the government had not received any such complaint.
“There are medicines. No shortage of medicine has been reported anywhere in the camps. Medicines have been delivered wherever required and there is enough stock of the medicines currently needed,” he said. – PTI
