A shocking news has come out that the central government is yet to provide its approval for the establishment of AIIMS hospital at Madurai's Thoppur area. This information was obtained through an RTI petition made by a social activist Hakkim, belonging to people's awareness trust.
It was announced by the central government that the multi-specialty hospital AIIMS, with all modern technology and equipment and facilities, will be constructed in Thoppur area of Madurai city. For this purpose, a 200-acre land was also chosen, to construct AIIMS hospital.
There are plans to establish AIIMS hospital across India at 14 cities. After many months of selection and dilemma, the Thoppur area was finalized and this process itself took many months. People's awareness trust from Madurai had raised an RTI petition demanding Answers on questions like when will the work begin and how much funds are allocated.
However, the response from the central health and sanitation department has come as a shocker as they have revealed that the central government is yet to give approval for AIIMS hospital at Thoppur and that there is no decision taken on funds allocation as well. However, minister Vijaya Baskar has said that it's a huge project and works are in progress and Thoppur area will definitely get AIIMS hospital.
