A primary health centre at lower Gardhi Garh completed about 4-yr back has been locked by the contractor over non payment of his bills. It was constructed to cater to medical needs of locals and lessen burden of other city hospitals.
An old building from where the PHC is presently operating is in shambles and there is no place even for medical staff to perform their duties properly. It is leaking from several places and even medicines are not stored in proper condition. Locals demanding its opening have approached the authorities a number of times but to no avail. On being contacted, SDM south said he had already written in this regard to the concerned authorities and is hopeful that it will soon start functioning.
