Cancer hospital in Mulund East in a soup! T-ward declares it illegal!!
Mulund: MLA Sardar Tara Singh is known for his great contribution for the welfare of Mulundkars hence he is affectionately called Karya Samrat. In yet another service to the mankind, Sardar Tara Singh has announced to construct a Cancer Hospital near Fire Brigade in Mulund East.
According to Sardar Tara Singh, the hospital is exclusively dedicated to the poor and needy who are suffering from the lethal cancer disease. This hospital will treat cancer patients completely free of charge and will have qualified and distinguished doctors from Fortis hospital.
Speaking to Home Times, MLA Sardar Tara Singh said, “The hospital will be a 25-bed hospital where all cancer patients will be treated free. It is a noble work which I am doing for the welfare of society.” Informing further about the hospital he said, “The hospital is being built at a cost of Rs 50 lakh and will be a boon for the poor.”
Though the news is of great excitement for Mulundkars as the hospital will surely be a boon for the underprovided section of society but like Sardar Tara Singh’s Samaj Kalyan Kendra, the BMC T-Ward has declared the ambitious cancer hospital of Sardar Tara Singh as illegal and served him a show cause notice and stopped the hospital work.
Informing about the notice from T-Ward office, Sardar Tara Singh said, “It is true that T-Ward has served me a notice after which I have stopped the work of the hospital. But this is not the end of the hospital work. I will try my best to construct the hospital after completing all the legal formalities of the civic authority.”
On the other hand, when Home Times spoke to T-Ward Assistant Commissioner, Kishore Gandhi regarding the upcoming cancer hospital, Kishore Gandhi said, “We have got information regarding the upcoming hospital being made by MLA Sardar Tara Singh in Mulund East. However, I doubt, Sardar Tara Singh has not taken legitimate permission from the BMC hence T-Ward has served him a show-cause notice and stopped the hospital proposed work. In this case, BMC will act after doing all legal formalities.”
It may be noted that the hospital is proposed to be built on the 8 acre land near Fire Brigade in Neelam Nagar premises in Mulund East. However, this land is under the control of collector and is reserved for entertainment utilization. Hence BMC has raised objection against the cancer hospital and stopped the work.
