Jammu: In a recently held press conference at Jammu and Kashmir, Governor Satya Pal Malik said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon lay the foundation of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Jammu region.
While addressing the press conference in Jammu, Governor Malik shared with media the plan of setting up AIIMS near Vijaypur in Samba district, stated that “PM will soon come to the state and lay the foundation of AIIMS."
In 2015, the centre sanctioned an AIIMS for Jammu following agitation by a union of 70 civil society groups under the banner of AIIMS coordination committee. However, the works on the prestigious project could not start as major portions of the identified land were occupied by nomadic families.
The Medical Dialogues had in September 2018 reported that authorities of Samba district handed over the encumbrance-free 244-acre land which is located near the Jammu-Pathankot highway in Vijaypur to the health and medical education department for setting up AIIMS.
