Assam Chief Minister Reviews Residential Colony Project for Assam Medical College and Hospital
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting at the Chief Minister's Secretariat in Dibrugarh with officials from the Public Works (Building) Department and the Medical College authorities to review the proposed residential colony project for Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH).
The project, aimed at infrastructural development, is estimated to cost Rs 300 crore. It involves replacing existing residential quarters with new accommodations for various staff members, including the Principal, Vice-Principal, faculty members, GNM staff, students, and third- and fourth-grade employees. Additionally, the plan includes a convention center and other essential facilities.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister assessed the broader environment of AMCH and examined the architectural plans for the proposed residential colony. He emphasized the need for modern amenities within the housing units and instructed the relevant departments to ensure provisions for future expansion and development are integrated into the planning process. He also directed the Public Works (Building) Department to coordinate closely with the medical college administration for effective project implementation.
The demolition of old and deteriorated housing structures, followed by the construction of new multi-storey residential buildings, is expected to free up land within the AMCH premises for better utilization.
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Power etc. Prasanta Phukan, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Dr KK Dwivedi, Special Commissioner and Special Secretary of the Public Works (Building) Department Raj Chakrabarty, District Commissioner Bikram Kairi, AMCH Principal Dr Sanjib Kakoti, Superintendent Dr Dhrubajyoti Bhuyan, and other senior officials from the relevant departments.
Last year, CM Sarma inaugurated the new CM's Secretariat in Dibrugarh.

300 crores for residential quarters? Is the government out of its mind? What about the common people struggling with basic necessities?

Upgraded facilities and improved staff housing will enhance AMCH's reputation as a leading medical institution.

Instead of building more infrastructure, the government should focus on training more doctors and nurses.

Instead of building more infrastructure, the government should focus on improving the quality of existing facilities at AMCH.

Investing in infrastructure is crucial for improving healthcare services in Assam.

This is a clear case of misplaced priorities. The government needs to stop wasting public money on unnecessary projects.
