Five years on, Hunsur taluk hospital building still not ready

Minister for Health and Family Welfare Dinesh Gundu Rao on Tuesday expressed displeasure over the non-completion of the new building of the taluk Hospital in Hunsur in Mysuru district even after spending crores of rupees.

On learning that the hospital building remains incomplete and needs an additional sum of ₹9.5 crore despite spending nearly ₹25 crore, the Minister said: “I will visit Hunsur soon to personally inspect the work status and take steps accordingly. I remember the Hunsur hospital issue was raised in the Assembly in the past but even today, it is not ready for public use.”

Mr. Gundu Rao, who chaired a department review meeting at the zilla panchayat here, was told by the officials that the construction of the hospital building was started in 2018. Five years have gone, the building is still not ready, he said.
