The Sudurpaschim Province Government has allocated funds for the Seti Provincial Hospital Improvement Programme in Dhangadhi, presenting the provision to the provincial assembly on Sunday as part of its current fiscal-year expenditure plan. However, reports by OnlineKhabar and Ratopati cite different amounts: OnlineKhabar reports Rs 225 million, while Ratopati reports NPR 25.5 million.
Reports differ on the allocation amount
The conflicting figures leave the precise size of the hospital allocation unclear in the available reports. OnlineKhabar puts the provision at Rs 225 million. Ratopati reports NPR 25.5 million for improvement of the hospital.
Both accounts identify the spending as support for the Seti Provincial Hospital Improvement Programme and place it within the province's current fiscal-year budget. The reports do not agree on the amount, so the figures should not be treated as interchangeable or combined.
Funding included in provincial expenditure plan
The budgetary provision was presented to the Sudurpaschim provincial assembly on Sunday as part of the government’s expenditure plan for the current fiscal year. The stated purpose is to support improvement work at Seti Provincial Hospital, located in Dhangadhi.
The information provided does not specify the individual works or services to be financed through the programme, a schedule for carrying them out, or how the allocated funds will be distributed. It also does not explain the difference between the amounts reported by the two news outlets.
The central confirmed point is that the provincial government has made a budget provision for the hospital improvement programme. The exact allocation remains uncertain based on the two published reports, which give figures of Rs 225 million and NPR 25.5 million respectively.
