NAGPUR: The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Wednesday expressed concern over absence of MRI machine and inadequate fire safety measures at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) here.
A division bench comprising justices Sunil Shukre and Anil Kilor asked the government to file a detailed affidavit on the tendering process for procurement of the new machine.
“It should also contain a time frame within which the tender process will be over and the machine would be delivered.
It should also have the contents of audit report, which pointed out absence of adequate fire safety measures and time limit within which the compliance would be ensured by the authorities.” TOI had on January 26 highlighted the absence of an MRI machine at GMCH due to which its administration was diverting patients to Indira Gandhi GMCH.
The HC’s directives came while hearing a petition filed by CH Sharma and others, where amicus curiae Anup Gilda pointed out the lack of efforts on the government’s part in procuring MRI machine and taking adequate fire safety measures.
