“Jithe Shakha Tithe Dawakhana”
Wherever there is a Shiv Sena Shakha (Branch) there would be a dispensary “Jithe Shakha Tithe Dawakhana”, which is a unique initiative to prevent the spread of corona. Gajanan Kirtikar, Shivsena Member of parliament inaugurated Shakha Dispensary at Shivsena Shakha No.59, located at Versova in Andheri west area. There was a large gathering to see the inauguration event with proper social distancing and faces covered with masks. The inauguration event was organized in collaboration with local Municipal Corporator Pratima Khopade and Shakha Pramukh Satish Parab.
Gajanan Kirtikar, Shivsena Member of parliament said “The main objective of opening dispensaries is to provide basic medical facilities to local residents. This initiative is a boon for the local residents who can come to shakha in specified time. In certain areas there are many doctors who have kept their clinics shut despite government directives. This is a dream project of Maharashtra CM Uddhavji Thackeray. We are planning to open up shakha clinics in every shakha so locals can be benefitted within their own areas”.
Kirtikar adds, “The union government has installed the MPLAD fund but the government of Maharashtra under the leadership of CM Thackeray has allocated Rs. 20 lakhs for MLA’s and Rs. 10lakh for corporators. This fund can be utilized for the purpose of Covid treatment and other contingency purposes in their respected areas. Also, we have recently distributed rations, sanitizers, masks to more than 8000 poor and needy families from our own resources. Kirtikar further added

Municipal Corporator Pratima Khopade has taken initiative to utilize Corporator funds to provide sanitizer spraying machines, laser thermometers, steam machines, arsenic pills, facemasks, and sanitizers to the societies, organizations and circles in the department through this program.
Parab further added “Dr. Manisha Jadhav M.D. Homeopathic will be available to local residents from Monday to Friday between 8 pm to 10 pm. The shakha dispensary will conduct free medical checkup, free basic medicine for the benefit of local residents. We also have two oxygen cylinders available with us in case of emergency”.
Vikas Chalke, a local resident said “When many doctors in the areas have shut their shops during pandemic, Shivsena Shakha dispensary is a blessing in disguise for the poor and needy people. This is a unique concept where patients can be examined and provided with free medicine in their close vicinity.
