(a): No, Sir. Only an extension centre of CGHS dispensary Number-50 (R.K.Puram III) has been opened in CBI Colony, Vasant Vihar, to provide CGHS facilities exclusively for the beneficiaries of CBI colony as most of the Govt. servants residing in the colony are required to be on tour for long spells and their family members were facing difficulty in getting medical facilities.
(b): No, Sir.
(c): At present there is no Govt. sanction for opening a full-fledged CGHS dispensary at Vasant Vihar and the present facility to the beneficiaries of CBI Colony is through an extension centre only which has been made operational with a limited number of staff withdrawn from CGHS dispensary No.50 (R.K. Puram III). Therefore, the CGHS beneficiaries residing in nearby colonies cannot be extended medical facilities through the extension centre of CGHS at CBI colony, Vasant Vihar.
