The wall is bent, work of your mason is not good change him,” said Union Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad to AIIMS, Bhopal Director Dr Sandeep Kumar who was in State capital for inspection of AIIMS, Bhopal on Sunday.
Azad while inspecting the CT scan department of AIIMS Bhopal found out that the partitions built to separate rooms were not straight, he ordered Dr Kumar to get the partition wall reconstructed. After witnessing another wall being bent, Azad asked Dr Kumar to change the mason who is constructing these as these walls can fall anytime.
Azad visited every department of under construction hospital building of AIIMS Bhopal, he also visited the institution building and hostel. On this occasion he was accompanied by AIIMS Bhopal Director Dr Sandeep Kumar, Architect Prem Chowdhary, Collector Nikunj Shrivastava, SDOP Sarika Shukla, construction company officials and other government officers.
Azad visited the student’s hostel also where he inspected the rooms of students; he also checked that the drawers were opening properly or not. Then he interacted with the students for long in the reception area and mess, he asked about how their studies were going, where they belong to and facilities in the institution.
Azad questioned about the existing high tension line in front of the Emergency ward of the hospital on which Dr Kumar answered that work is in progress to relocate the high tension tower.
On this occasion, Azad said that 80 per cent of private medical colleges of the country are located in southern India while in rest of the 28 states only 20 per cent medical colleges are located.
To promote opening of new medical colleges in the northern India norms have been eased, such as earlier 25 acres of campus was compulsory now that has been decreased to 10 acre only.
