BMC Extends PPP Bid Deadline Again for Hospitals

BMC Extends PPP Bid Deadline Again for Hospitals

Imagine the city government (BMC) wants help running some hospitals.

They asked private companies to join in, a plan called PPP.

But only one company said yes!

It's like when you ask your friends for help with a project, and only one wants to join.

BMC has extended the deadline three times hoping for more help.

Private companies are worried because BMC sometimes takes a long time to pay, making it hard to run the hospitals.

One company, Krsna Diagnostics, stopped its services due to payment issues.

The BMC is still trying to move forward with the plan at one hospital despite these concerns.
