Sickle cell patients yet to get travel concessions
In March 2015, a government resolution was issued that allowed patients suffering from genetic blood disorder sickle cell disease (SCD) to travel for free in state transport buses. It took almost a year for two government units, the public health department (PHD) and the transport authority, to work on the first step towards implementing the order. In the meanwhile, it is a mystery where the money allocated towards this end in the last financial year has vanished.
