Recently, the news of construction of a bridge in a field in Araria district of Bihar went viral. A bridge was constructed in a field in a village, but the path to climb the bridge was not known. Now, a case of a hospital built in a field at a cost of crores has come to light in Muzaffarpur. This government hospital turned into a haunted bungalow and became a ruin without even being inaugurated.
According to the information, this 30-bed government hospital built on a 6-acre plot in Saraiya Panchayat Chand Pura of Paru block of the district was equipped with modern equipment. From the year 2015 till date, the health department has not taken it over. Not a single patient has been treated in this hospital till date. Also, the most interesting thing about this hospital is that even the health department does not know about it.
Even the health department does not have information about the hospital
This government hospital was completed 15 years ago. Now the situation is such that thieves have stolen the hospital’s windows, frames, doors, grills, gates, cupboards, electrical wiring and other equipment. The hospital has now become a den of anti-social elements. Three buildings were built in the campus of this 30-bed hospital, one for health workers and the other for a testing centre. But all three buildings are in ruins today.

Villager Sudhir Kumar said that this is a flood affected area. The population here is around 1 lakh. When this hospital was being built, seeing its grandeur, the people around had hoped that now they would not have to go to the city 50 kilometers away for better treatment. But this hospital did not start functioning even after being built so grandly. There is a lot of forest around the hospital. The villagers are afraid to come here.
Being a flood affected area, people here have to face a lot of difficulty in going to the city for treatment. SDO Western said that this is a serious matter. I do not have much information about it. Currently, the District Magistrate has formed a team to investigate it. The Civil Surgeon and other officers are investigating it at their level. Further information has come to light only after the investigation.
