ARCON must continue to function.

Swati Deshpande I TNN

Mumbai: Offering respite to HIV/AIDS-affected persons, the Bombay high court on

Tuesday in an interim order directed that ARCON (AIDS Research and Control

Centre) at JJ Hospital must continue to function despite its deadline for

closure due to lack of funds.

A bench of Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice V K Tahilramani said only if the

number of AIDS patients in the city had come down to zero, the unit's closure

would be justified. Some patients had moved court against the April-30 deadline.

Hold the ARCON director responsible in case it is proven that there has been a

lapse on his part for not seeking the grant, routed through the Centre in time,

the bench said.

Dear FORM,

PLWA got the victory in Mumbai High Court. Govt want to close down ARCON to hide

its failure to run this organisation, once prestigious AIDS centre in India that

treated over 10,000 patients. I started taking ART here in 1996. The hidden

story is that Govt wants to hide corruption because GFATM has started

investigations of corruption for 100 crore grant.

This forum should discuss this.
