If opened, the health kiosks will be a blessing for daily wagers, autorickshaw drivers, street vendors and poor people, who find it difficult to reach hospitals. However, medical services are yet to be started, though the government spent nearly Rs 4.5 lakh for each kiosk. Various medical services were planned to be provided by health staff through the kiosks between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
