The state cabinet on Tuesday approved Rs 773 crore project for upgradation of
Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital
(MYH), giving boost to Indore's medical education and healthcare infrastructure. A restoration project for Lalbagh Palace worth Rs 47.59 crore was also approved.
The sanctioned funds would be utilised for a new hospital building, a mini-auditorium, nursing hostel, parking and external development work within the MY hospital complex.
The project is expected to provide better healthcare services to patients and offer advanced learning facilities to students of
Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College
.
The restoration project for Lalbagh Palace would include construction of a boundary wall, pathways, parking facilities, soft-scaping and irrigation systems, public amenities, ticket counters, a garden café, an open-air stage, a pavilion, Rani Ahilyabai Self-Defence Centre (for girls), external electrification, decorative light poles, a pipe music system for gardens, and CCTV surveillance, among other features.
Chief minister Mohan Yadav also visited Lalbagh Palace on Tuesday, where he paid tributes to Subedar Malharrao Holkar, founder of Holkar dynasty. The CM also reviewed progress of conservation efforts for this heritage site. He was briefed on the palace's unique features, including the meeting room, crown hall, banquet hall, durbar hall, kings' office, consultation room, western meeting room, Indian dining rooms for both men and women, and the ballroom.
The project will prioritise preservation of the garden and Holkar heritage, aiming to revive the garden as a hub of social and cultural activities. Funded under the Simhastha Fund, the project will be executed by Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation and is slated for completion by May 2027.
Earlier, in the morning, the CM visited zoo and released a male King Cobra, brought from Pilikula biological park in Karnataka, into the snake park. Until now, Indore zoo only had a female cobra.
