The 100-bed Sub-District Hospital in Uran will soon be a reality as the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has decided to pay the delayed payment charges (DPC) for the allotment of lands for the hospital. The DPC was supposed to be made by the Civil Surgeon, Raigad, Public Health Dept of Government of Maharashtra. However, the delay was also leading to the construction of the hospital.
As hospital facility is an essentially required facility and needs to be established on priority, CIDCO decided to pay the DPC and allot the land to the public health department.

CIDCO will contribute the DPC amounting to Rs. 7,51,046 that includes Rs.4,45,356 towards the lease premium and Rs. 3,05,690 other miscellaneous charges.

However, the payment of EMD amounting to Rs. 8,41,200 and lease premium Rs. 75,72,600/- in two equal installments was delayed by the Civil Surgeon, Raigad, Public Health Dept of Maharashtra. Thus, the DPC was worked out amounting to Rs. 7,51,046/-. “The agreement was not executed as the DPC amount was not paid.
