Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and MLA Vipin Singh Parmar on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Himachal Pradesh government over the introduction of robotic surgery facilities. The BJP MLA alleged that the move prioritises high-end technology over strengthening basic healthcare infrastructure.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Parmar said that the state's health system is already under severe strain, with a shortage of essential staff and facilities across medical institutions.
