The Delhi government has announced a budget of ₹7 crore to enhance security at three hospital complexes that remain unfinished. These complexes are located in Madipur, Jwalapuri, and the new block of the LNJP hospital. The funds will be allocated for hiring security agencies, installing barricades, improving lighting, and developing monitoring infrastructure to prevent theft and vandalism. Specific allocations include ₹2.43 crore for Madipur, ₹2.39 crore for Jwalapuri, and ₹2.22 crore for the LNJP hospital. Concerns have been raised about the use of public funds on projects that have been stalled for over two years, with previous administrations facing criticism for poor management. The current government plans to shift these projects to a public-private partnership model to expedite their completion, with a timeline set for April 2025. Despite spending over ₹1,000 crore on these hospitals, none have been completed, with physical progress reported between 65% to 80%.
