A free eye-test and cataract operation camp was organised today by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) member Devender Kumar to mark the seventh death anniversary of former union minister and Congress leader Madhav Rao Scindia.

More than 300 people got their eyes tested, while about 50 cataract operations were done free-of-cost in the camp held at Camp Khanpur, Narela.

A prayer meeting was also held to remember the late leader. The prayer meet was attended by hundreds of people including former Governor Romesh Bhandari.

"Scindia ji was a great leader who was always concerned about the basic health facilities for the poor section of the society. He was associated with various NGO's and other organisations for the benefit of the poor," said Bhandari remembering the departed Congress leader.

Devender Kumar reminded people of how Madhav Rao Scindia would start a `Health Line Express' train for the people of his constituency to come to Capital and get their check-ups done from time to time.

The meeting was also attended by Delhi municipal corporation member Mukesh Bhatt, Narayan Singh, Vijender Pehlawan, Deepak Chaudhry and other local Congress leaders.
