Poor health

The ministries of health and railways held a joint briefing on setting up diagnostic centres, hospitals and medical colleges on railway land. At the briefing, jointly addressed by ministers Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mamata Banerjee, someone asked about an appointment of a member on the Railway Board. This got Banerjee so upset that she walked out of the briefing, only to have a tongue-in-cheek Azad gently rebuke the media, “Now you have spoiled the health of the conference.”
