Weeks after the controversy over his concert getting cancelled, now Mamata said that he will be provided with all possible support in building the proposed medical college.

“Arijit Singh is the pride of Murshidabad and our state. He hails from Murshidabad and sings extremely well. He is the pride of the world. He wants to come up with a medical college and hospital in Jangipur. I am presently in Murshidabad and I want to communicate to him that the state government will provide all necessary support to him in this endeavour. He is a man whose talent speaks volumes,” she said, as reported by the Millennium Post.

She visited the SSKM hospital in Kolkata and proposed to senior doctors and professors at the medical college that the medical students must visit villages and other remote areas of the state and offer treatment. The relationship between doctors and people should be strong and it could be improved if doctors could understand the problems of people in the villages, added the CM, as reported by TV9 Hindi.

She requested doctors to be present at night when most accidents occur and also said that they should not move out of the state and practice in West Bengal only.
