The “pran pratishtha” of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will happen on Monday.

New Delhi:

Opposition leaders within the INDIA bloc criticised Delhi-AIIMS’ preliminary choice to close its OPD companies until 2:30 pm on Monday in view of the grand opening of the Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya. However, the hospital reversed its choice right this moment after a public and social media outcry. 

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) within the nationwide capital declared a half-day closure of its places of work and establishments on Monday, aligning with the nationwide celebration of the grand occasion in Ayodhya. While the official announcement assured the general public that important scientific companies would stay operational, the choice to pause routine medical actions has been met with sturdy opposition. The transfer has drawn sharp remarks from leaders throughout political spectrums, with considerations about potential penalties for sufferers.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi took to social media to specific her dismay, urging residents to keep away from medical emergencies earlier than 2 pm. 

“Hello, humans. Please don’t go into a medical emergency on 22nd, and if you do schedule it for post 2 pm since AIIMS Delhi is taking time off to welcome Maryada Purushottam Ram. PS: However, wonder if Lord Ram would agree that health services are disrupted to welcome him. Hey Ram, Hey Ram!” Ms Chaturvedi wrote on X.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Saket Gokhale criticised the choice, highlighting the plight of people ready for medical appointments exterior AIIMS gates. 

“India’s largest Government Hospital AIIMS Delhi will remain closed till 2:30 pm on Monday. There are literally people sleeping outside in the cold at AIIMS gates waiting for an appointment. The poor and dying can wait because priority is given to Modi’s desperation for cameras and PR,” Mr Gokhale wrote.
