The second campus of CNCI has been built at a cost of over INR 5.3 billion out of which around 4 billion have been provided by the Union government and the rest by the West Bengal government, in the ratio of 75:25.
The campus is a 460 bedded comprehensive cancer centre unit with cutting-edge infrastructure for cancer diagnosis, staging, treatment, and care. This second campus of the Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI) in Kolkata which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently.
Banerjee, who attended the inauguration event virtually from her office, said she was invited twice by Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya. She said that the prime minister virtually inaugurated the project. But they had already inaugurated it earlier during the outbreak of pandemic when they needed a Covid centre.
In a swipe at Banerjee, Thakur said that as a chief minister she should know the difference between a temporary Covid-19 centre and a world-class cancer institute. His remarks came a day after the West Bengal CM claimed that the project was already inaugurated by her government a long time ago.
