Early Times Report 

JAMMU, June 8: Number of Deputy Commissioners Jammu have been changed but no one has dared to fix the rent of rented out medical shops at Shri Maharaja Gulab Singh (SMGS) Hospital Jammu, resulted huge loss to the hospital's exchequers.
Pertinently, the matter of assessment the rent of both shops has been taken with Deputy Commissioners (Chairman District Level Committee of Rent Assessment of Shops Jammu) time to time but due to casual and non serious approach, the proposal of fixing the rent of both medical shops has been gathering dust in the DC office for more than 4 years.
Here is need to mention that two medical fair shops of cooperative had established since 1940 in the premises of SMGS hospital Jammu but then medical superintendent as well as concerned authority had not fixed nor appropriate rent is being charged from the shops due to which the fair shops are getting benefits of it.
"No appropriate rent was fixed for two shops rented out to medical fair price shops of Super Bazar (cooperative) for past 75 years causing huge losses to State exchequer as well as Hospital Development Funds for last so many years, "officials told Early Times.
Irony!
No appropriate rent was fixed for two shops rented out to medical fair price shops of Super Bazar (cooperative) for past 75 years causing huge losses to State exchequer as well as Hospital Development Funds for last so many years.
Moreover, officials claimed that at t present the management of the SMGS hospital is charging only Rs. 3000 as rent from both shops which nominal charge (Rs. 1500 per shop) for last three years. Recently few days ago a letter has been sent to DC Office Jammu to fix the rent but so far nothing has been done on part of district administration.
Officials also added that earlier, a letter vide number MS/Fair Price Shops/06/6625-29 dated 16-02-2011, had sent to Deputy Commissioner Jammu but all in vain. "Since 2011, numbers of DCs of Jammu were transferred and repeatedly letters and reminders were sent to DC Jammu to assessment of rent of two medical fair price shops but neither assessment committee was made nor rent was fixed.
Owing to lackadaisical approach of district administration, the hospital management failed to get appropriate rent form both shops so the funds could have utilized for the improvement of the hospital and patient care.
When contacted Medical Superintendent of SMGS Hospital Jammu Dr. Dara Singh admitted and said that repeatedly letters had been sent to Deputy Commissioners since 2011 but no rent has been fixed by them so far.

However, Deputy Commissioner Jammu Kumar Rajeev Ranjan said that he was not aware of such issue so far.
