While addressing the jawans at Sainik Sammelan, Shah said that PM Modi led NDA government provided 4.5 lakh health cards to BSF soldiers, which helps them and their family get speedy and quality medical treatment.

“PM made a very big decision that cards be issued to CAPF jawans and their families. Through that, they and their families can avail treatment at any hospital for any disease. With a swipe of the card at the hospital, the process will begin,” ANI quoted Shah as saying.
