Punjab National Health Mission (PNHM), in a fresh order issued on Monday, has directed all the civil surgeons in the state to stop the planned outreach activities under the Union government’s ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ (VBSY) in the state.

This comes amid the backdrop of the Centre not releasing ₹402.48 crore under the National Health Mission (NHM) to Punjab due to the state’s non-compliance with branding guidelines for Ayushman Bharat-Health and Wellness Centres.
