''The construction process should be completed in the next two months without any delay. To save time, we should also explore the possibility of implementing the new design of mohalla clinics like the shipping container model as it is more cost-effective and time-saving,'' the statement quoting the minister said. The meeting was attended by officials of the DDA, PWD, CDMO Shahdara among others. Gautam raised the long-pending issue of encroachment of DDA land for illegal occupation.
