NDMC's executive wing proposed transfer of hospitals to Centre

The executive wing of the cash-strapped North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) had proposed handing over its hospitals and medical college to the Centre, officials said.

The proposal came up before the standing committee of the BJP-led corporation today, but the item was "postponed", an official said.

NDMC has five major hospitals under its jurisdiction and a medical college, since the trifurcation of then unified MCD in 2012.

Some of the major hospitals under NDMC are Hindu Rao Hospital attached with a college, and Kasturba Hospital.
