The DC also inspected the ongoing construction of the 200-bed additional block, where he was briefed by the concerned authorities that 65 percent of the work has been completed. The DC was apprised that the additional block is expected to significantly enhance the hospital's capacity and provide improved healthcare services.

The DC directed the authorities to ensure that the road approaching to the GMC is strictly designated as a no-parking zone to prevent traffic congestion.
