Therefore, the corporation has decided to set up medical camps for workers at various places’. Physical check up of the workers will be done at the medical camps and if any worker is found to be seriously unwell, he/she will be referred to the nearest dispensary for treatment. Workers with substance abuse problems will be given special psychological treatment.
