In an attempt to provide 24×7 health care facilities available on all public health care centers, the government installed solar power plants in the hospitals here, some 37kms from Srinagar city.
The plant which is charged by the sunlight provides 27 hours electricity to the hospital.
The plant has been installed at the cost of rupees 43 lakhs with the funding from the central government.
The locals are happy as they are getting round the clock health facilities and other procedures.
Doctors say that they are now able to run the operation theater round the clock and are ready to take up any emergency.
Asif wani, a local said, "Many of our issues have been solved. Earlier the patients used to go back untreated as there was no electricity every hour."
The government is planning to install this solar system in other hospitals as well.
