Naik said a private college and hospital are not affordable to OBC communities and their children and so demanded that a government college and hospital be set up.
He said currently people can’t afford costly treatment in private hospitals. Naik pointed out that the sub district hospital like Ponda has no facilities and there is an urgent need for CT scan and MRI Machines.
