Udupi: The Karnataka government in a cabinet meeting on Friday sanctioned an additional 12 cents for B R S Health Research Institute Private Limited owned by Udupi-based businessman Dr BR Shetty on contract basis.
The government had already sanctioned 3.88 acres for the company to establish a health centre in Udupi which will include a hospital and a facility to provide community health services.
The new site is adjacent to the land sanctioned earlier located near K M Road in the town. The new hospital and community health centre is being constructed by B R S Group and is expected to be inaugurated on October 14 as scheduled.
