By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, MAY 3. The State Government has decided to shift Gandhi Hospital, the Gandhi Medical College and the hostels from their existing premises to the precincts of the Musheerabad Jail. The Musheerabad Jail was shifted to its new location at Cherlapalli, and doctors and staff of Gandhi Hospital have been agitating for a few months demanding shifting of the Hospital to the premises vacated by the jail.

The decision was taken at a review meeting held by the Chief Minister, Mr. N.Chandrababu Naidu, here today.

According to the CM's Office, though the requirement for the new hospital was only 15 acres of land, the Chief Minister instructed officials to allocate another two acres of extra land for other purposes. The Chief Minister directed officials to construct Gandhi Hospital with the Rs. 40-crore loan sanctioned by the HUDCO and to equip it with the state-of-the-art equipment so that it could become a role model to other Government hospitals.

The Home Minister, Mr. T.Devender Goud, the Minister for Roads and Buildings, Mr. K.Vijayarama Rao, Dr. Alladi Rajkumar, MP, Mr. T.Srinivas Yadav, MLA, the Special Chief Secretary, Medical & Health, Mr. C.Arjun Rao, the General Manager, South Central Railway, Mr. Krithivasan, and other senior officials were present.
