He announced the Election Constituency Special Programme amid a function here today. In the Special Programme, Lamichhane has announced to operate a free bus service for women in his election constituency from today itself.
This bus will be called 'Blue Bus' as its colour is the same colour of the party's flag. Only women can travel by this bus which will be operated in Chitwan constituency no 2. A card would be issued to those travelling in the bus. Dignity kits for women would be kept in the bus. A letterbox would also be kept in which the commuters can drop suggestions and their comments addressed to Lamichhane.
The RSP president has also announced providing employment within the country to 100 Nepalis now working abroad. He has made this announcement during the parliamentary election. Their monthly salary will range from Rs 40,000 to Rs 150,000.
Similarly, the Special Programme states that public hearing would be conducted every four months and the first such programme has been scheduled for August 27.
A mobile clinic will be operated targeting the senior citizens above 65 years. A team of health workers including a medical officer will provide door-to-door service under this mobile clinic facility. Arrangements would be made to send a person to hospital in case advanced treatment is warranted.
Lawmaker Lamichhane said a health insurance scheme equivalent to Rs 500,000 would be launched covering the indigent citizens in the constituency under the Healthy Chitwan Campaign. One hundred individuals would be included in the first phase.
