Hubballi Dharwad Central MLA Mahesh Tenginakai has urged the State government to provide additional grants to Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) and Hospital on par with Mysuru so as to cater to the healthcare needs of people of North Karnataka.
Participating in a discussion on issues concerning North Karnataka in the Legislative Assembly session in Belagavi on Wednesday, Mr. Tenginakai pointed out that there is disparity in the quantum of grants provided to government medical colleges and hospital.
While one can understand the additional grants provided to the State capital (Bengaluru), there is disparity in grants released to Mysuru and Hubballi, which should be rectified immediately, he demanded.
