Thoubal, December 13 2015:
The Community Health Centre-Heirok Protection Committee today resolved to block the ongoing construction of Heirok CHC building unless the authority concerned inspects the construction site, reports our correspondent.
Speaking to media persons at the community hall of Heirok Thokchom Leikai, CHC-Heirok Protection Committee secretary N Bimol stated that NRHM Civil Work Committee had resolved to upgrade the CHCs of Heirok, Sagolmang and Sugnu to the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) level in June 2009 .
Building constructions were undertaken by MDS under the State Health Society, Manipur at the cost of Rs 2,54,00,000,00.However, the ongoing construction of 30 bedded Sugnu and Heirok CHCs appear to contradict the building structural designs and estimated cost of construction as shown earlier, he said.
Negligence of the assigned contractors at the time of foundation of the buildings are apparent to anyone to who sees the ongoing constructions, he added.
N Bimol further said that the committee has resolved to block the construction work of Heirok PHC building until the authority concerned inspect the site and initiate necessary steps.
