BJP concerned over Ayurveda hospital construction delay

SHILLONG: Concerned over the delay in setting up of the permanent building for the North East Institute of Ayurveda and Homoeopathy hospital at Mawdiangdiang, the BJP Youth Wing Meghalaya (BJYM) met the Director of the institute at its temporary office in Nongrim Hills here recently.
The project, which includes setting up of permanent buildings for hospital, colleges and administrative campus of the institute, started in April 2011 and was scheduled to be completed within 18 months. Bhartiya Infra Project Ltd from Gawahati is carrying out the project work for which 20 acres of land were allotted.
The BJP youth wing felt  that since the construction company could not complete the work on time, the concerned authorities should initiate necessary action against the firm.
“The Director of the Institute assured the delegation that the work would be completed within six months,” said BJYM president, Egenstar Kurkalang,
The BJYM also expressed concern over indifferent attitude of the State Government in this regard.
The project includes setting up of a hospital and colleges in the field of Ayush and Homoeopathy. The proposed institution will have 60 seats each for Ayush and Homoeopathy.
