Nagpur, 26 May (HS): Union Home Minister Amit Shah

performed bhoomipujan of temporary accommodation for families of cancer

patients at Nagpur’s National Cancer Institute. The facility has been named ‘Swasti

Nivas Panthagar’. Shah appreciated the service to the affected families by

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Shailesh Joglekar's family who has converted

his personal pain into public service to reduce the pain of others.

Shah said the National Cancer Institute in Nagpur was a dream project of Fadnavis, whose father died of cancer. He worked hard since

2012 to realise his dream and the institute was established in 2023 in phases.

When the work on establishing the Institute started, Fadnavis had nothing in

hand. The work gained pace after he became the Chief Minister. He understood

and followed the saying Service to society is service to God. The

family members of a cancer patient also suffer. Their pain is reduced to some

extent by developing the Swasti Nivas Panthagar, Shah said. He advised the

staff and management to continue with the service and improve it further.
