‘The dispensary built by our party at a cost of Rs. 1.05 crore in Sector 79 of Mohali Left to ruin’: Former Health Minister
CHANDIGARH: Former Punjab Health Minister and senior Congress leader Balbir Singh Sidhu exposed the false policies of the Aam Aadmi Party regarding the health department. He said, “Many projects, including the dispensary in Sector 69, the Phase 6 hospital, and the dispensary in Sector 79, which were initiated by us in Mohali, are still pending and have not been completed by the Aam Aadmi Party government.”
He expressed these sentiments while showing a reality check of sector 79 dispensary. He stated that the total cost of the sector 79 dispensary in Mohali was approximately Rs. 1.05 crore, out of which work worth Rs. 45 lakh had already been completed by the Congress party.
He further said, “The dispensary in Sector 79 of Mohali is now becoming a ruin under the rule of the Aam Aadmi Party government. The government, which sought votes in the name of a world-class health model, is not paying attention to any projects related to this department.”
He added, “Along with Sector 69 and Sector 79, the hospital in Phase 6 of Mohali is also running without proper staff, despite repeated requests to make necessary arrangements and fulfill the requirements.”
Sidhu criticized the government, stating that the dispensary built by their party at a cost of crores of rupees is now turning into a ruin. He said that people are now struggling to access government healthcare facilities.
Taking aim at the AAP government, he said, “Their government has done nothing except make false promises to the people. Instead of initiating any new projects for the development of Mohali, the MLA is not even completing the old, pending projects.”
Furthermore, he said, “It has been three years since the AAP government was formed in Punjab, and they have done nothing except publish false advertisements.” The Bhagwant Mann government’s so-called health revolution model is now clearly failing.
Stressing the need for immediate action, Sidhu urged the Chief Minister to take personal interest in these crucial projects and direct the concerned departments to complete them at the earliest.
