RAJOURI, July 30: A newly constructed building in Darhal hospital complex was sealed by the Administration after it developed some cracks and water seepage was witnessed in several rooms from the roof top.
Constructed by JKPCC with the cost of Rs 4.50 crores, this 4-storey building was completed hardly three months back. The JKPCC wrote to the Block Medical Officer to take over the building and also release the pending amount of Rs 1.13 crore. The Health department officials found substandard work done by the agency engineers and contractor and refused to take over the building. It was found that water seepage was there in several rooms and walls had developed cracks.
The matter came to the notice of CMO Rajouri who further took up the issue with the Deputy Commissioner F C Bhagat. On the directions of DC, Tehsildar Darhal along with SHO went to the spot and sealed the building. He also initiated an inquiry into the matter, seeking action against the JKPCC men involved in the construction of the `unsafe’ hospital building.
