Indian govt to set up regional National Institute of Virology in Jammu and Kashmir
Srinagar: The Indian government plans to open the regional National Institute of Virology in Jammu & Kashmir, media reports said.
As part of strengthening pandemic research, the regional National Institute of Virology (NIV) for north zone was to be established in Chandigarh, but would be set-up in Jammu due to land dispute there, reports Kashmir Observer.
“This project is to be shifted to Jammu, due to land dispute at Chandigarh,” reads the report of the department-related parliamentary standing committee on Health & Family Welfare as quoted by the news portal.
The report was published in the Parliament on Mar 15.
“Jammu UT authority has identified one area, which was declared unsuitable by a committee. Now Jammu UT has proposed three more sites. ICMR experts team is scheduled to visit Jammu shortly,” the report states.
