One does not know how many political parties and individuals have taken power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan seriously, when he took up the cause of kidney patients of Uddanam area in Srikakulam and addressed a public meeting there. But Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu seems to have taken Pawan Kalyan's fight very seriously. As the deadline fixed by Pawan Kalyan for the Naidu government to respond to the woes of Uddanam kidney patients came to a close on Friday, the chief minister reacted sharply and came up with some sops. Naidu declared that those who had suffered damages to kidneys in Uddanam area would be treated as physically challenged and they would be given life-time pensions. He instructed the Medical and Health department as well as Panchayat Raj department to take up the issue on war-footing and work on the remedial measures. Calling for an international debate on Uddanam kidney ailment mystery, the chief minister said the government would take all steps to do intensive research on the disease and find out a permanent solution to the crisis. "I have asked the scientists to discuss such issues on international forums like Indian Science Congress and come out with a solution," he said.
