Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday inaugurated two 100-bedded makeshift state-of-the-art hospitals for Amarnath Pilgrims.
The two 100 bedded make shifted state-of-the-art bas hospitals built by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) were inaugurated at Baltal and Chandanwari.
