Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar lay the groundwork for an impending medical institution named after Guru Teg Bahadur in Yamunanagar's Punjupur hamlet.

The project on 21 acres of land is expected to cost over Rs 1,200 crore and will take about 30 months to complete.

The CM visited the layout project and did "bhoomi pujan" alongside school education minister Kanwar Pal, additional chief secretary Dr Sumita Misra, DC Manoj Kumar, and other officials.

Officials said that under the project, a 100-seat medical college, a 500-bedded hospital, a nursing college, and physiotherapy institute will be constructed.

Khattar said that the government is actively working on expanding healthcare services by establishing medical colleges and hospitals in every district and efforts are being made to make Haryana a beacon of health.
