good job to extend validity of ECHS health card till 31 Dec 20.it is suggested that old card must be valid till such time new card are not printed as main aim of these card is to give health facility to ex service at the time of need and that must be continue at any cost. Since there is COVID-19,lock down,back log in printing and some time data is not verified by concerned record offices due to one or the other reason.for example i have applied for new card on 18 jun 18 and till now i have not received my new health card.
2. in view of the above,it is suggested that old card must be continue to be valid till such time new card are not printed/received by concerned ex servicemen. In no case,ex servicemen should not be harassed and should not be deprived off from their legitimate right of getting medical facility as and when it is required by them.
3, It is good job and is much appreciated to extend its validity till 31 Dec 20. thanks.
