Visakhapatnam Member of Parliament M. Sribharat on Tuesday distributed cheques sanctioned under the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) to 27 beneficiaries, amounting to ₹15,79,894, at his office in Lawson’s Bay Colony.

Describing the fund as a source of support for families in financial difficulty, Mr. Sribharat said it ensured that the cost of medical treatment did not become an obstacle to accessing healthcare. The assistance, he said, would help poor and middle-income families meet medical expenses arising from illness.

“The objective is to ensure that families in distress receive the necessary support at the right time. We will continue to work towards helping eligible beneficiaries access government assistance, particularly when they face difficulties meeting medical expenses,” he said.

Mr. Sribharat reiterated his commitment to facilitating government assistance for families facing financial hardship.

The beneficiaries thanked the Chief Minister and the MP for facilitating the assistance. Party leaders and workers took part in the programme.
