The construction work is in progress for AIIMS, Mangalagiri in Andhra Pradesh. Initially, there was some delay due to non-availability of sand for construction work. There was also some delay in completion of activities to be undertaken by the State Government, which included arrangement of water supply, storm water disposal drain, main approach road to campus and shifting of existing NDRF campus. Covid-19 pandemic also affected the progress of work.
Progress of all the ongoing projects under PMSSY is regularly reviewed with Executing Agencies and other stakeholders with a view to ensure their completion in a time-bound manner.
