The BRS government had granted administrative approval to upgrade the 20-bed hospital to a 100-bed facility, with an allocation of Rs 29 crore. However, construction has been stalled, and the hospital is still functioning with only four out of the 16 sanctioned doctors. Despite assurances from ministers that civil works would be completed promptly, the ongoing delay has left the local community frustrated.
Shyamprasad (37), a resident of Chitkul, got admitted to the hospital a couple of days ago. Following his alleged death, a case was registered. The body was taken to the government hospital in Patancheru for postmortem.
