At the Janata Darshan programme on Monday, the woman spoke about her ailing son and the difficulties she faced in arranging medical care. Responding immediately, the chief minister instructed officials to shift her son directly from the venue to Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute, Lucknow, via a government ambulance, ensuring he received prompt treatment.

“Sir, my young son has cancer. We are poor, cannot afford treatment, and we do not have an Ayushman card. Please save my son’s life,” she appealed. Yogi assured her of all necessary assistance and personally facilitated the hospitalisation.

During the programme, Yogi met over 50 people from across Uttar Pradesh, listening to grievances patiently and accepting applications for action in a time-bound manner. Apart from health-related appeals, issues raised included illegal construction in Mathura, Vrindavan, and Lucknow, unresolved cyber fraud cases in Noida, and matters related to police, administration, revenue, electricity, and financial aid.
