Newly Elected SaraiKela Panchayat Head Takes Action for Local Health Issues
Overview of the Main Event
Manoj Kumar Chaudhary, the newly elected head of the SaraiKela municipality, visited the home of Abhimanyu Nayak, a local suffering from heart disease, early in the morning (around 7 AM) in Dehuridih village. Dressed in simple attire, his visit was well-received by the community.
- He engaged with the patient's family, expressing concern for his health.
- He coordinated with MGM Hospital in Jamshedpur for better treatment.
- An ambulance was arranged to transport the patient to the hospital, where specialized doctors ensured proper care.
Additionally, the chairman addressed other social issues in the village:

- He instructed the child protection officer to connect the three orphaned children in Abhimanyu Nayak's family with government welfare schemes.
This initiative exemplifies his compassionate and proactive leadership, especially shortly after his election victory in February 2026, where he won by a margin of 449 votes with a total of 1,943 votes.

Chairman Manoj Kumar Chaudhary has also been active in health services recently. A few days ago (around March 6, 2026), he visited the SaraiKela Sadar Hospital to address a case where an eye doctor (Dr. PM Bara) was reported to have solicited a bribe from a patient. He demanded an investigation, which has led to increased transparency in health services.
