Sources further told that due to slackness approach with poor planning the project jumped several deadlines. The said project is delaying day by day and it seems there is no sign of its functioning due to incomplete infrastructure, and other even the file for creation of staff posts is gathering dust in the office of the concerned authority.
If officials of the department are to be believed, the infrastructure of the said building has been completed by the executive agencies and it would be functional as soon. Contesting the claims of the department, sources alleged that the present infrastructure has many flaws and pointed out by inspection team time and again. There was no suction plant and gas plant in the hospital building, Radiology Section was not as per guidelines, labour room and many more were not as per requirement.
Pointing out gross negligence, sources claimed that the blueprint of the building was made by the agency without ramp facility, which is a key part of any hospital the building, and most interesting no one was pointed out and when the building about to complete the work of ramp was started by breaking some part of the building.
