Chandigarh, March 15
The proposed medical college in Bhiwani will be named after Pt Neki Ram, a freedom fighter and former MP, and not after Dr Mangal Sein, as stated by CM Manohar Lal Khattar in his Budget speech on March 12.
Khattar informed the House on Monday there was an error in his Budget speech.
Congress’ Kiran Choudhry said she had no objection to a medical college being named after Pt Neki Ram, but the government must tell people that it was upgrading a government hospital named after Bansi Lal, her father-in-law, and renaming it after the late freedom fighter. — TNS
