The construction of the facility of 1,120 dwelling units for doctors at AIIMS will decrease the high rate of attrition among medical professionals at the institute.
As the institute already had funds for this purpose, she said administrative approval and financial sanction should be granted for it.
Demanding the operation and maintenance work of the accommodation at the institute to be handed over to the central public works department (CPWD), she told The Indian Express, "The CPWD wing concerned may be directed to visit AIIMS, Bathinda, to finalise the takeover of operation and maintenance of the institute,"
Following this, she also urged the Minister to upgrade the AIIMS 28-bedded trauma and emergency centre here to a 300-bed facility.
Previously when she met the Union Minister on Tuesday, a request to name the prestigious AIIMS, Bathinda Institute in honour of 'Hind ki Chadar' Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was also made.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal told PTC news, "Guru Ji's commitment to the cause of protecting the liberty of all people of the country is unparalleled. The supreme sacrifice of the Guru was a turning point in the history of the country and paved the way for the formation of our great nation which respects all religions equally. Keeping this in view I am of the firm opinion that naming the premier Institute in honour of the great Guru would be most fitting."
