The work is progressing at a fast pace as planned to complete the construction in a time-bound manner. The work will be completed by March 2023.

The construction work has been completed and the next phase of plastering work is in progress. The building will be opened by the hands of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. A separate area is constructed for the burn. 8 operation theatres and 2 mini operation theatres are being constructed.

Similarly, tar roads will be constructed throughout the hospital through the chief minister's attention to prevent rainwater logging during the rainy season. Land acquisition is essential on behalf of the government whether it is constructing new roads towards development or widening of roads.

If land acquisition means constructing a road for whom. We are constructing a bypass to decongest the city area. Land has to be acquired for the implementation of government projects.
