Bizarre it may sound but a lift company has placed an estimate for 30,66, 847 rupees with the Medinirai medical college for the annual maintenance of its 14 lifts already installed there.
This maintenance cost worth 30, 66,847 rupees is annual! The company in question is Schindler India Pvt Ltd.
The Medinirai medical college management has forwarded this proposal for 30,66,847 rupees to the special secretary health department said the principal of the medical college Dr Kamender Prasad.
There are 14 lifts installed in the Medinirai medical college.
6 lifts are in the administrative block, 4 lifts are in staff quarters and 2 lifts each in boys and girls hostels.
There are 4 lifts installed in the hostels of boys and girls that are lying dead for months and months.
MBBS students are to negotiate the staircases upto the 7th floor. It's arduous going and coming down through the staircases.
The Medinirai medical college approached this company to find out measures to keep lifts operational and the company just gave a proposal for 30,66,847 rupees estimate for the annual maintenance cost of the 14 lifts here.
The state health department is to examine the proposed estimate.
