Full fledged AIIMS not possible without notification in Gazette of India: Harsh 11/15/2015 11:13:38 PM early times report Jammu, Nov 15: Voicing discontent with the ghost package announced by PM Narendra Modi failing to appropriately address and redress the grievances of the people of Jammu region, Harsh Dev Singh expressed his apprehensions regarding the authenticity of the package in a press conference here on Sunday. Speaking to media persons Singh revealed that ambiguity still existed with regards to AIIMS and Smart City project for Jammu in the PM's package. Hailing the provision of Rs. 4000 crores (Rs. 2000 crores each for Jammu and Kashmir Valley) in the package for two AIIMS, he said that this capital would be spent on raising the 'Brick and Mortar' structure of the health edifices but a full fledge AIIMS with a recurring expenditure of Rs. 300 crores per annum could not be established unless it was notified in the Gazette of India as per AIIMS Act. Suspecting uncertainty over the issue, he disclosed that RTI filed by the Panthers Party earlier seeking the details regarding the establishment of AIIMS in Jammu region categorically said that only one AIIMS had been sanctioned for J&K State as per AIIMS Act and no such information existed in the concerned office of the Union Ministry of Health pertaining to AIIMS for Jammu. Singh further showed his consternation on the development of two 'Smart Cities' in the State for which a provision of Rs. 500 crores has been kept in the package. He pointed out that in the Pan- India mega project each Smart City would cost Rs. 960 crores and wondered how come two Smart Cities could be realized with the paltry allocation of Rs. 500 crores for five years in the atrocious package. Singh maintained that the border dwellers and the farmers of Jammu region who had suffered a huge loss of property and life while persistently facing the brunt of the enemy's attack and incessant rains causing deluge, were also kept out of the ambit of the package. Other leaders who accompanied Singh in the press conference included Gagan Pratap singh and Advocate Vilakshan Singh General Secrateries Young Panthers.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
