Jammu: After the removal of Article 370, the people deprived of many schemes of the Center in Jammu and Kashmir are now getting direct benefits. The health sector of the valley was running at the slowest pace in implementing these schemes. After the declaration of Jammu and Kashmir as a Union Territory on August 5, the project of opening the Prime Minister's Jan Aushadhi Kendra, which had reached the verge of closure in its early stages due to non-availability of generic medicines, has now suddenly caught the pace.
