Dr. Bashir Ahmad Veeri, MLA from Srigufwara–Bijbehara constituency, on Tuesday raised a strong demand in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly for the upgradation of healthcare facilities in his constituency, particularly seeking district hospital status for Bijbehara and the establishment of a sub-district hospital in Srigufwara.
Speaking during the ongoing Assembly session, Dr. Veeri highlighted the growing healthcare needs of the area and said existing facilities were inadequate to cater to the increasing patient load. He stressed that upgrading Sub-District Hospital Bijbehara to a district-level hospital would reduce the burden on tertiary hospitals and ensure timely medical care for people of South Kashmir.

Emphasizing that healthcare is a basic necessity, Dr. Veeri urged the government to reflect these demands in the current budget and take concrete steps for early implementation.
His demands were welcomed by local residents, who have long been seeking improved medical infrastructure in the region.
