The relocation of the hospital has been discussed with the District Collector. The demolition has been temporarily stayed, and the OPD will continue functioning at the existing location,” Abitkar said.
The government is now inspecting five sites in Trimbakeshwar to identify a suitable location for the hospital. Abitkar said residents would be taken into confidence before the final site is selected.
The decision comes amid concerns over the impact of shifting the hospital, particularly as Trimbakeshwar is expected to witness a major increase in the number of visitors during the upcoming Kumbh Mela.
