WAZIRABAD - Local people have demanded the high-ups to provide funds for the early completion of Punjab Institute of Cardiology Wazirabad so the examination of outdoor patients can be started soon. An examination team should be constituted to check the construction standards as well, they added. Talking to the newsmen, they said this project had to be completed in June 2008 but delayed due to scarcity of funds, negligence of relevant department and usage of substandard material in construction repeatedly by the contractor. They added that work on all the three PIC centres including Wazirabad, Multan and Faisalabad were started at the same time and both the centres - Faisalabad and Multan had been completed but former was lying still incomplete. They said that it was divided into sub-projects to expedite the work through different contractors including hospital building of 90,000 square feet, hostels for 107 doctors, 137 nurses, residence of medical superintendent of grade 20, residences of doctors of grade 18 and 19, construction of boundary wall, main gate and water tank, fixation of lifts for patients and visitors, construction of roads, sewerage system, water supply lines and streetlights inside the PIC premises and installation of power generator and high capacity water pumps. Only 90 percent work on hospital building, nursing hostel, and boundary wall was completed and the remaining was lying incomplete due to lack of funds.
