Well-known persons, including former state minister Nitin Raut, expressed solidarity with the cause and condemned the government.The MVA government had approved a budget of ₹1,156.56 crore for the 615-bed hospital.

This hospital played a crucial role during the health crises like chikungunya outbreak and the Covid-19 pandemic, has witnessed a surge in outpatient numbers, reaching up to 3,000 during peak times. Now, the government is planning to shift it to the Mihan which we wont let happen, Raut added.
