Rs 5 crore is the project cost of the underground drainage project and out of it, Rs 4 crore will be spent from the Special Development Fund and the remaining Rs 1 crore from the GVMC funds.
He said that many posts have been filled recently in KGH and VGH and the remaining posts will also be filled soon.
“We will chalk out an integrated development plan after discussing with the Health Minister, Chief Secretary of Medical and Health and the Collector as most of the patients were opting KGH for best medicare instead of private hospitals. We will try to continue to provide best facilities,” he said.
