Dr. Samat Dhrangu
Municipal schools, hospitals or any government establishments have
various rules and regulations.
In Bhavnagar only about 60% will know about various rules and regulations
of the government. Government should keep the procedure simple so
that common man will be comfortable.
People lack awareness about health and sanitation. They litter the
roads with garbage or spitting around.
