Indore : A chaos like situation prevailed among the district health officers when the firm, responsible for coordinating ‘Janani Express’ cautioned to stop the services with immediate effect. The decision was taken by the firm due to new orders from the State Health Department to pay them on the basis of deliveries.
According to sources, the State Health Department issued an order on Monday that they would pay the firm on the basis of deliveries. “Recently, the department has been paying for every Janani Express on the basis of kilometres.
