AIIMS has also added multiple clinical, research and residential buildings and facilities during the said period. However, our engineering services have not kept pace with the pace of our growth and we are having challenges in appropriate and cost-effective maintenance of our buildings and their engineering systems."
"Also, our engineering division does not have an officer above the rank of Superintending Engineer which is severely limiting the value of the contracts for which technical sanction can be accorded within the engineering department," he said.
