MEDICOS AND other employees of Hamidia Hospital and Gandhi Medical College (GMC), opposing the State Government’s plans to open a heritage hotel in the Fatehgarh fort inside the hospital’s premises, are expected to meet Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on September 4 to submit a memorandum of objection.
A delegation of doctors and other health workers and employee organisations of Hamidia Hospital will reach the Chief Minister’s House at around 10 am to meet him and hand over the memorandum demanding scrapping of the proposal.
“All doctors, medical students and employees are united in this agitation against the opening up of a hotel inside the Hamidia hospital campus,’’ Dr Vineet Gour of MP Junior Doctors Association (MPJDA) said today. He added members of GMC teachers’ association, health workers union, class three employees union and other employee unions had jointly opposed the proposal.
GMC teachers’ association president Dr Neeraj Bedi, MPJDA spokesperson Dr Jeevan Singh Meena, class three employees union head Indrabhan Verma, health workers’ union president Gajadhar Prasad, APAKS GMC head M Chauhan, Laghu Vetan Karmachari Sangh’s Mohammad Taufiq and other employee leaders will be present in the delegation that meets the Chief Minister.
Irate medicos have already submitted separate memorandums to Tourism Minister Yashodhara Raje Scindia and State Health Minister Ajay Vishnoi to register their protest against the proposed hotel. The Government has plans to hand over the Fatehgarh fort to the MP State Tourism Development Corporation (MPSTDC) so that the latter can start a heritage hotel there.
