# Gwalior nursing college hospital locked; training questioned 2026-08-08T14:52:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A ground inspection by India Today found Dhakre Multispecialty Hospital in Gwalior locked and apparently non-functional, despite being listed as a 100-bed teaching hospital for Maharana Pratap College of Nursing. The premises appeared deserted with no patients or staff, raising doubts about clinical training for nursing students. Hospital operator Shivendra Singh Dhakre said the facility operated during Covid but later shut, claiming repairs and a recent CMHO inspection caused the closure. The controversy comes as Gwalior division inspects 38 of 50 nursing colleges seeking recognition, following High Court-flagged irregularities that halted approvals in Madhya Pradesh. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: education, Gwalior, healthcare, hospital inspection, Madhya Pradesh, nursing college Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/gwalior-nursing-college-hospital-locked-training-questioned/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
