Committee asked to file report on materials for Patna AIIMS

A division bench comprising Justices Prakash Chandra Verma and Aditya Kumar Trivedi passed the order while hearing a PIL filed by the Council for Protection of Public Rights and Welfare Secretary M P Gupta praying for completion of the health project in a time frame.

The court directed the committee comprising the union health services director, Patna AIIMS director and joint secretary (Health), Bihar, to submit the report to it on next Wednesday - the next date of hearing in the case.

The court, while expressing disapproval of slow pace of construction of the Patna AIIMS at an earlier hearing on April 12 last, had set up the committee to monitor the construction works and ensure use of quality material and submit its report to the chief minister and the central government every fortnight.
