This is a great initiative by CM Dhami! Journalists work tirelessly to bring us news, often neglecting their health. Such camps should be organized in other states too. 👍

While I appreciate the gesture, I hope this isn't just a one-time PR stunt. Journalists need regular health checkups - maybe quarterly camps would be more beneficial.

Good to see specialists from various fields participating. Journalists' jobs are stressful - mental health checkups are especially important in this profession.

Why only for journalists? What about other essential workers? The government should expand such facilities to police personnel, sanitation workers etc. who also serve society.

As someone from Dehradun, I'm proud our state is taking such initiatives! Hope they maintain the quality of these camps when they make them 'occasional' as promised.

Journalists in remote areas need this more than those in Dehradun. Hope they organize mobile camps for district correspondents too! 🙏
