Kasaragod, Jul 13: The Kerala state government has given the green signal for works on the hospital building block of the Kasaragod government medical college at Ukinadka, near Badiadka, 30 km from the district headquarter town.

The decision was taken by the Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Health & Family Welfare, at a meeting in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.

The meeting resolved to commence the works this month itself. The Rs 88-crore project was awarded to Erode-based R.R. Thulasi Builders (India) Private Ltd., a senior official of the Kerala Industrial and Technical Consultancy Organisation Ltd. (KITCO), which supervises the project, said on Thursday.

The 500-bed hospital project is designed to absorb 100 students a year.

The work on the 20,000 sq m academic building block is nearing completion. The 37,850-sq m hospital block is designed to have facilities, including nine operation theatres, radiology department, and blood bank. The building will be linked with an electric substation.

The phase three works envisage construction of staff quarters, hostels, and allied residential facilities, he said. The project is estimated to be completed by May 2020 and the students’ intake could commence during the intervening period, the official said.

Its foundation stone was laid by then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on November 30, 2013.

The authorities primarily focussed on completing the academic building blocks, procuring assistance from NABARD and the special package recommended by the P. Prabhakaran Commission, instituted to chalk out projects for the development of the relatively backward district, which still relies on far off hospitals for expert medical care.

Bengaluru, May 22: Karnataka Congress delegation met Chief Election Commissioner, Dr B Basavaraju in Bengaluru, urging him to guide Karnataka Government to conduct local body elections and not to allow State government to nominate their party men to the local bodies.

The delegation was led by Congress leader Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar.

"They (State government) wants to postpone the election, they have a lot of other provisions. We are demanding to protect the law, the government doesn't have the power to interfere in the system. We will not allow the state government to nominate their party men.

The CM and his entire team is responsible for this, they are killing the democracy and Panchayati Raj system of the State," said Shivakumar while speaking to the reporters.

The local body elections were scheduled to take place in the month of March or April, which were postponed in view of the COVID-19 crisis.

However, the date for conducting the local body elections has not been decided yet.
