The Delhi government on Thursday approved a proposal to provide medical facilities to former MLAs, treating them at par with sitting legislators.
The government approved a modification in the office memorandum regarding improvement in Delhi Government Employees Health Scheme (DGEHS) with an aim to provide comprehensive healthcare facilities to ex-MLAs. Delhi health minister A.K. Walia said that it has been decided to do away with the need for authorisation or permission for entitled treatment for self and dependent family members in private recognised hospitals with regard to ex-MLAs.
Further ex-MLAs will also be allowed treatment on cashless basis in empanelled private hospitals and diagnostic centres.
The payment for such cashless treatment would be made by Delhi Legislative Assembly.

New Delhi, May 5: A 40-year-old woman was shot at by a youth here when she rebuked him and three of his friends for passing lewd comments against her daughter, the police said on Thursday. The woman’s condition is stable.
The incident took place Wednesday around 10.30 pm near the Shantivan area of central Delhi when the victim, Raj Dulari, along with her daughter and other family members, was on her way to a marriage function.
“Two of the four people, Rajesh and Ashish Saini, were arrested on Thursday. The rest are absconding,” a police officer said. According to police, two shots were fired at Dulari, one of which hit her knee. She was rushed to a hospital, and is stable. —IANS
