Good initiative, but I hope they actually complete it on time. We've seen many projects get announced with great fanfare and then get delayed for years. The CM needs to ensure regular monitoring and fast-track the construction. Actions speak louder than words.
It's a great step towards improving healthcare in rural Bihar. Our people shouldn't have to die due to lack of access to hospitals. Also, kudos to CM for visiting the Thawe temple and offering prayers—our traditions matter. Bharat Mata ki Jai! 🇮🇳
This is exactly what India needs—more grassroots-level infrastructure. It's refreshing to see a CM personally visit the site and even stop by the temple. A classic example of combining development with culture. Wishing success to the project!
Just remember, a medical college shouldn't just be a building—we need qualified doctors, nurses, and proper equipment. I hope the state government also focuses on staffing and training. Otherwise, it'll be another white elephant.
This is so, so needed! My aunt had to sell her land to pay for treatment in Patna. If this hospital had existed, she could have gotten care close to home. God bless the people of Gopalganj. Please build it fast! 😊
