Indore's Khajrana Civil Hospital Unbuilt After Six Years Despite Staff Appointments
Six years after approval, the 100-bed Khajrana Civil Hospital in Indore remains unbuilt due to land possession delays, despite 87 government posts being sanctioned and staffed. Transfers and appointments continue, including a recent laboratory technician posting. Authorities acknowledge land allocation but cite pending physical possession, with efforts underway to resolve the issue. The hospital aims to serve over 300,000 residents and reduce pressure on existing facilities but currently exists only on paper.
