The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has finally received a no-objection certificate from the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) for the redevelopment of Krantiveer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Hospital at Kannamwar Nagar in Vikhroli East. The civic body will soon invite a tender for the construction of the 500-bed super-speciality hospital. The construction of the building will take three years.
Dr Vidya Thakur, chief medical superintendent of peripheral hospitals, BMC, confirmed the development and said, “We are in the process of getting permissions from the environment ministry and aviation authorities.” MHADA gave its nod on June 20 after the BMC paid it Rs 13.23 crore for the use of land and other fees. The civic body shut down the 100-bed hospital in 2018 after the building had been declared dilapidated. The hospital was shifted to a maternity home in Tagore Nagar, but locals allege it wasn’t operating at full capacity and as a result, they were forced to rely on Rajawadi hospital in Ghatkopar.
