Mohali: The Punjab government has started 3D mapping of the land provided for setting up of a new building of Dr B R Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS). The new building will come up near the Institute of Nano Sciences and Technology (INST) in Sector 81, where 28-acres of land has been finalised. The land has also been formally handed over to the Dr B R Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS). AIMS director-principal Dr Bhavneet Bharti said, “The 3-D mapping of the land is being done with a view to ensure best possible building layout plan for a medical college. Thereafter, a detailed project report will be prepared and work will be allotted for the construction of the building.” The project is already running behind schedule as after finalising the land last year, the project was to be started in 2023, but construction was delayed. The project is to be completed in 30 months, once started. At present, the medical college is operating from the premises of civil hospital building in Phase VI Mohali, and earlier, the land was earmarked at Jujhar Nagar, just behind the civil hospital for setting up of medical college. But due to non-favourable conditions, the land at Jujhar Nagar was scrapped. Three sites were shortlisted for the proposed medical college, near Phase VI; Medicity in New Chandigarh, and Sector 81, where the Punjab government had acquired 381 acres to set up an integrated Knowledge City in 2009.
