STRICT ACTION AGAINST HOSPITALS VIOLATING LEASE CONDITIONS OF LAND ALLOTMENT


LOK SABHA

Strict action would be taken as per rules against hospitals for violating lease conditions agreed to while getting DDA land. Delhi Development Authority has allotted land to 21 hospitals with the condition of free treatment to the poor. Out of these 16 hospitals have started functioning. Land & Development Office has allotted land to 2 hospitals with the condition of free treatment and both the hospitals are functioning. Some of the hospitals have been reported to be not providing free treatment strictly in terms of the allotment.

This information was given by Minister of State for Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation, Shri Pon. Radhakrishnan in a written reply to the question of Shri Virendra Kumar in Lok Sabha today.
