Deadline missed, work on GN maternity hospital now to be completed next yr 4/15/2015 12:02:48 AM Nitesh Sangral Early Times Report Jammu, Apr 14 : After missing first deadline, the work on maternity hospital Gandhi Nagar is now expected to be completed next year. Work on the hospital was started in 2012-13 and the project was to be completed by the Jammu and Kashmir Housing Board by 2014-15. Later, due to alleged political interference, the Roads and Buildings Department took over the construction work. Keeping in view overcrowded Shri Maharaja Gulab Singh (SMGS) hospital, the state government had proposed the 200 bed maternity hospital. Sources said the hospital missed the deadline due to slow funding from the government of India and the state government. "Lack of interest shown by the concerned authorities also caused the delay. Now if funds are released promptly, the project would be completed by ending 2015-16 financial year," official sources told Early Times. Admitting that the funds have been delayed, Commissioner Secretary for Health and Medical Education Department, Shantmanu, said the project would be completed in 2015-16 financial year.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
