Bandipora, Nov 10: MLA Bandipora Nizamuddin Bhat on Monday visited Ancillary Medical Training (AMT) School at Nusoo and reviewed the functioning oof the institution.
He also interacted with students undergoing training at the institution who informed the legislator about various issues being faced by them.
It is pertinent to mention that construction of a district hospital was initially taken up at the site where the AMT School is presently functioning. However, a decision was subsequently taken to convert the under-construction facility into an AMT School as experts found the location neither sufficient for the Hospital nor feasible owing to marshy land.

They also pointed to a shortage of teaching staff, saying the unfavourable surroundings of the institution were affecting their education and training.
Principal of the institution, Dr Asif Khan, also briefed the MLA about the various challenges confronting the school.
