PDP president and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said she spoke to Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda and urged him to expedite work at AIIMS Awantipora, pressing for the prestigious healthcare institution to be completed without further delay.
Mehbooba said the Union Minister assured her the project would be completed on time. "Spoke with Union Health Minister JP Nadda ji and requested him to expedite the ongoing work at AIIMS Awantipora so that it doesn't get delayed any further. He was kind enough to assure me about its completion well on time," she said.
The PDP chief said that while the team on the ground was putting in sustained efforts, an operational AIIMS in Kashmir had become increasingly urgent given the deteriorating state of healthcare across Jammu and Kashmir. "Given how healthcare is crumbling across J&K, it is imperative that AIIMS Awantipora is operational soon. It will provide much-needed relief and quality medical services," she said.
The development comes a day after Mehbooba visited the AIIMS Awantipora project site along with party legislators to review progress and interact with officials on the ground.
