Baddi, May 9
Even as Union Minister for Labour and Employment Mallikarjun Kharge is slated to inaugurate the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Model hospital at Baddi tomorrow, it is yet to be completed and only one of the five floors has been completed.
One wonders what is the hurry to inaugurate an incomplete hospital when only 65 per cent of its work has been completed.
The 100-bed hospital, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs 80 crore, is slated to have a staff of about 200-250 with 19 specialists, 38 medical officers and 10 resident doctors once it becomes fully functional.
Though Chief Minister PK Dhumal, who was the chief guest, is reportedly unable to attend the function as he is leaving for Delhi today to attend the CMs’ conclave to be held tomorrow, said his staff.
Union Minister for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Virbhadra Singh is the guest of honour along with state Industries Minister Kishen Kapoor and state Health and Ayurveda Minister Dr Rajiv Bindal.
Medical Superintendent Ajay Raj Kamra, while agreeing that the hospital was yet to be completed, said though the building had been constructed, the interiors were yet to be completed.
A visit to the site revealed that work was underway on all floors and construction material was seen strewn everywhere. Workers were employed to construct the main gate barely a day before the inauguration.
Senior BJP leader Shrikant Sharma said it was beyond comprehension as to why its inauguration was being done in such a hasty manner without proper planning.
