| Centre to announce AIIMS for Jammu today: Bhagat | | Nadda, Jitendra to visit winter capital to end controversy | | Early Times Report
jAMMU, July 19:As the one-month deadline set by the Coordination Committee, spearheading the agitation to seek AIIMS for Jammu is all set end on Monday, the senior BJP leader and the Forest Minister Bali Bhagat on Sunday said that Centre would announce AIIMS for the Jammu region on Monday.
Pertinently, the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh and the Forest Minister Bali Bhagat had given written assurance to the Coordination Committee for AIIMS on June 20 this year that Centre would announce AIIMS for Jammu within one month. The deadline would end on Monday.
Bhagat while talking to reporters said the prestigious institution AIIMS for which the people of Jammu have been agitating for more than three months would be announced for Jammu tomorrow.
The Coordination Committee, comprising lawyers, transporters, traders and other members of the society, was constituted soon after when the AIIMS announced for this region in the Union Budget, was shifted to Kashmir.
Earlier, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had said that since the state was one, it would not matter even if the institution comes up in the valley.
Jammu had also observed a 'bandh' on April 24 and May 27, followed by a candle light processions on the issue called by the Coordination Committee on AIIMS led by its chairman BAJ president Abhinav Sharma.
The committee also staged a two-week long chain hunger strike, which was called off on June 18 on the written assurance from the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh and two other cabinet ministers fixing the deadline for final announcement for AIIMS on July 20.
People of Jammu were also hopeful from the Prime Minister's July 17 visit expecting AIIMS announcement, but were left dejected as he made no mention about it in his address while speaking at the 100th birth centenary of Late Congress leader Girdhari Lal Dogra.
Sources revealed that Union Health Minister J P Nadda, Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office
Jitendra Singh and a few other BJP leaders would arrive in Jammu on Monday and would make the announcement to put the controversy surrounding AIIMS to end. |
