Jain's remarks came during during a departmental meeting with PWD officials to discuss the project.

"All seven new hospitals will have in-house green STPs with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). These STPs will be devoid of any foul odour and will consume very little power to function.

"These hospitals will also have a provision of camera connected with individual beds of patients," Jain said in a statement.

He said the 'precast building material technique' will enable an energy-efficient and environment-friendly approach.

"Built with precast technique, Kejriwal government's seven new hospitals will be completely modular.

"All steel & concrete material structures will be manufactured in factories and will only have to assemble them at the construction site to boost the construction speed," Jain said in the statement.

The precast materials are readymade blocks of concrete that are built in the factories and then brought to the construction site where they are assembled to give a final shape.

The PWD minister directed officials to pace up the work so that the target of constructing these hospitals within six months can be achieved.
