After years of tussle between the BMC and the state Dairy Department over Aarey Hospital in Goregaon East, the latter has decided to outsource the facility to a charitable trust. The hospital has been in a dilapidated condition, operating without essential medical services for years now. BMC was eyeing to take over the hospital and thus get a foothold in the Aarey Colony within the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the last green patch amidst the concrete jungle of Mumbai.
“We are still in talks with them and had a meeting with state officials in August. This suddenly happened and none of us were informed,” said a ward-level BMC official.
