Scheduled to be completed in the year 2014, it is for the third time that the executing agency has sought extension to complete project.
The construction work on the project was started in 2010 and project was to be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 31.60 crore. However, irked by the lackadaisical approach of executing agency, in 2015 then Chief Minister late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had pulled up executing agency and directed them not to miss deadlines in the completion of the projects.
Pertinently, there would be 6 floors in the hospital complex with total covered area of 84,848.98 sq ft and its basement will have parking lot, while the lower ground floor will have oral medicine, radiology and hospital administration blocks. The ground floor will house oral surgery and maxiofacial oral pathology department, while the first floor will accommodate prosthodontics and community dentistry department.
Sources in Health Department told Early Times that shortage of space with Dental College Jammu, the project has been started so that new hospital building would be helpful in delivering quality and advance Medicare to patients. But unfortunately, owing to lackadaisical approach of executing agency and concerned authority, the project has been missing one to another deadlines since started and it will take 1 or 2 month more for the executing agency to complete it.
"After missing two deadlines, it seems the deadlines, of constructed work executive agencies, to have become a common phenomenon in the State, " Sources stated.
When contacted General Manager JKPCC, ND Khawaja said the building will be handed over within a month as the work of construction is near completion.
