Among them, successful surgery of 459 persons was conducted. He said another medical facility- cardiothoracic surgery would soon be introduced in the state.
In another important decision, Chowdhury said, the state government revised the pay structure of the regular faculties working in Regional Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (RIPSAT) as per the recommendation of the Seventh Pay Commission.
He said, earlier there was no recommendation of Seventh Pay Commission. So, the state government would bear the salary from now onwards.
