Taking to X, (formerly known as Twitter), CM Khattar wrote, “Today I make another announcement for the people of Haryana, now families with annual income of ₹ 1,80,000 to ₹ 3,00,000 will also be given the benefit of ‘Ayushman Bharat Yojana’. From next August 15, a portal will be opened to get cards made under this scheme”.
