Madurai AIIMS Hospital Latest Status

As you know, we wrote about Madurai AIIMS like hospital in past - click here.

Later, as of today the status is that - it is as it is approved by Central and State Governments. There has been delay only from the operational side. It is said that there is no complete approval from Central government. Even though state government is ready, the delay is from the operational side and Central government.

Though it was said that by 2011 September this project will be completed. There is not much progress again, after the foundation function.

It is believed that this project will happen and be successfully completed 100%, but will get delayed. If the work is not resumed back immediately then this won't happen by September 2011.

Only if the work is started back immediately, we can see something solid by 2011.

Will Central government or the operational team make some changes to Madurai sooner??!!

Even in today's Dinamalar paper, this is mentioned and the concern is raised by Dinamalar and question is raised - why the delay!?
