Ratna De Nag seeks the reopening of a cancer research centre in Chandernagore

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Thank you Sir. It has been the request of my people of West Bengal for opening the Ruplal Nandi Memorial Cancer Research Centre at Chandernagore (Hooghly district in Bengal).

Since it is closing down a large number of people are put under a lot of hardship. It is to be noted here that this cancer centre is a unit of the Chittaranjan National Cancer Research Centre at Kolkata. It used to cater to patients from  Howrah, Hooghly and 24 Parganas. But now they are forced to travel 50 km to get treatment from the Kolkata hospital.

Under these circumstances, I like to urge to the Hon. Minister for reopening of the Ruplal Nandi Memorial Cancer Research Centre at Chandernagore and come to the rescue a large number of people.
