SCB Cuttack upgrade project delayed by two years
A massive AIIMS Plus upgrade for SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, announced in 2019, remains incomplete despite a Rs 4,500 crore sanction. Originally slated for January 2024, the project, which aims to add thousands of beds and modern facilities, now faces a September 2026 deadline. Delays are impacting patient care, with activists highlighting the urgent need for improved infrastructure.
