Madurai HC asks govt to complete Madras AIIMS in three years

On Tuesday, the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court asked the Centre to complete the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) construction in Madurai quickly, preferably in three years.

A Bench including Justices B Pugalendhi and N Kirubakaran gave the order on a PIL filed by KK Ramesh over the delay in completing the project. The judges noted that the projects for building AIIMS in several other states are progressing well.

Even though the government had guaranteed that the project in Madurai would complete in 45 months, substantial progress has not been made yet, they opined. The judges ordered the Centre to decide on the appointment of a project consultant at the earliest.

On Tuesday, another PIL filed by K Pushpavanam asking directions to begin outpatient services and MBBS classes in Madurai AIIMS was heard. The Assistant Solicitor General (ASG), L Victoria Gowri, appearing for the Government of India, notified a Division Bench of Justices M Duraiswamy and K Murali Shankar that the State has recommended Theni or Sivagangai medical college to be considered for establishing the temporary venue for MBBS classes under Madurai AIIMS.

Gowri added that the Executive Director of AIIMS, Dr Mangu Hanumantha Rao, replying to it, has also sent a formal communication to the state on August 6. Rao has expressed the Central government’s readiness to commence the classes in any of the colleges selected by the State, subject to specific infrastructural requirements for academic, administrative and recreational purposes, she said.

As the senior counsel representing the State, Veera Kathiravan, requested the court to give time to the government to take a decision concerning the facilities asked by the AIIMS director, the judges adjourned the matter. They ordered both parties to file affidavits at the next hearing.
