New District Hospital and Road Development Launched in Tonk District
Inauguration of Key Development Projects
On Sunday, Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary, the Water Supply Minister, laid the foundation stone for a new district hospital building in Malpura, Tonk district, which is set to cost ₹50 crore. Additionally, a four-lane road with a divider, costing ₹6 crore, will be constructed from Jaipur Road to Suiwalon Ki Dhani.
While addressing the gathered crowd, Minister Chaudhary emphasized his commitment to the region's development, stating that under Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's leadership, Rajasthan is consistently achieving new milestones in progress. He assured that the government would also inaugurate the projects that are being launched.
Chaudhary mentioned that over ₹1,500 crore will be invested in various development initiatives in Malpura in the near future. These projects will include drinking water lines, beautification of Brahma Talab with a budget of ₹100 crore, underground electricity lines, road construction, sewage systems, a new veterinary hospital building, and the establishment of an ITI. The government is also working to upgrade the Jaipur-Bhilwara state highway to a national highway for improved transportation.
He highlighted that in the past four months, approximately 167 PM Awas Yojana houses have been approved in the Malpura municipality, providing shelter for the underprivileged. The Prime Minister's crop insurance scheme has also been beneficial for farmers, with around ₹140 crore in compensation already credited to farmers' accounts in the Malpura area.
The establishment of the district hospital will alleviate the need for residents to travel to the district or capital for health issues, as all necessary medical facilities will be available locally. The minister also promised to fill vacant doctor positions at the hospital soon. He encouraged local residents to engage in tree planting, suggesting they plant as many trees as there are family members and care for them until they mature.
During the event, the minister distributed checks of ₹50,000 each to beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana. The local community honored him with a 51-kilogram garland in appreciation of the new district hospital. Chaudhary expressed his gratitude to the residents with folded hands and a bow.
