Office of Surveyor General of India has conveyed that
Survey of India, Dispensaries situated at Dehradun, New
Delhi and Hyderabad were established as per the obligations
under Factories Act as per which, it is mandatory to run a
dispensary, wherever printing office is located. Merger of
these dispensaries with CGHS dispensaries would lead to
violation of Factories Act. Hence, the merger of Survey of
India Dispensary in CGHS on the same lines as P&T
dispensary is not possible.
