Madurai: The Madras High Court sought to know from the Union Health Ministry reasons for the delay in setting up premier health institute AIIMS in Tamil Nadu.
It also directed the ministry to file a detailed counter on the pros and cons of five sites suggested by the state government for the establishment of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
Justices M Sathyanarayanan and Hemalatha gave the direction while hearing a contempt petition, seeking action against Union Health Secretary Preethi Sudan for not implementing the court's earlier direction to announce a location for the AIIMS by January 1 last.
