Haryana government announced Thursday that it will try to convince the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to allow the government to set up the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Manethi village of Rewari district.
“We will try our best that the proposed AIIMS is set up at the Manethi village itself,” Rajiv Jain, Media Adviser to the chief minister.
“Haryana has very less forest area and existing forests areas should not be proposed for diversion, when vast non-forest areas are available,” they said.
Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted that the Haryana government had announced setting up of the AIIMS at Manethi without any planning. “The public will teach a lesson to the BJP soon,” he added.
