The Public Works Department has started the preliminary works to construct a new campus for the Government Veterinary Polyclinic near the Central Prison on the outskirts of Vellore town.
Engineers on Thursday demarcated the area for constructing three buildings, which will have several new facilities, that would form a part of the the new campus for the polyclinic. Officials of the Department of Animal Husbandry said the initiative to construct a new campus for the polyclinic came after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) denied approval for expansion of facilities on its existing premises, located opposite to Vellore fort. “Many animals are coming for treatment at the clinic every day. Better facilities at the new campus will help us provide better care and treatment,” said B. A. Nasser, a clinician at the polyclinic.
