Sharma apprised him of the slow pace of work on the two sub district hospitals at Sunderbani and Nowshera , under construction for over 7 years , which were sanctioned during Congress led UPA govt in 2013, while the work commenced in 2014-15 but could not be completed till date.
The original plan and parking space has been altered which needs to be probed and looked into to provide adequate parking space in both upgraded hospitals besides immediate completion of the buildings.
The transfer of adjoining land of poultry/veterinary to the SDH Sunderbani has not been effected so far despite principle decision in 2012-13 , which is very unfortunate and should be done immediately.

Several sub centres in far areas /villages are without staff and people suffering, he apprised the authority.
