SHILLONG, Oct 29: Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Wednesday confirmed the government is holding discussions to ensure that the upcoming Tura Medical College and Hospital is run as a government institute.
Following opposition from the public, the state government has backed out of its plans to run the college on a PPP mode.
Sangma said that since Shillong Medical College has started functioning, the government wanted to start the Tura Medical College at the earliest. As it was difficult for the government to run the hospital, they decided to explore the PPP mode.
He said government decided to operate the medical college after acknowledging the concerns of the public.
