People are up in arms against the delay in opening the Mother and Child Hospital in Kanhangad, which was inaugurated more than a year ago.
The hospital was inaugurated by then Health Minister K.K. Shailaja in February, 2021. The government had sanctioned ₹9.4 crore for the 150-bed hospital. Though most of the work has been completed, there is an inordinate delay in opening the hospital.
Youth Congress district president B.P. Pradeep said that they have decided to go on an indefinite strike condemning the delay.
