A low-key bhoomi puja ceremony for Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science (RGUHS) campus, at Archakarahalli, Ramanagara, was held on Thursday.
Amidst controversy over shifting Kengal Hanumanthaiah Medical College from the proposed campus of RGUHS, Ramanagara, to Kanakapura, which is the constituency of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, only Ramanagara Congress MLA Iqbal Hussain conducted the ceremony in the absence of Mr. Shivakumar.
However, this is the fifth bhoomi puja programme for the RGUHS campus construction work since 2007. Previously, during the previous BJP government, former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had laid the foundation stone on March 28, 2023.
