Plans to convert the defunct Parsi Lying-In Hospital in Fort into a super-specialty orthopaedic and sports medicine centre has been rejected by the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP), the lease-holder of the century-old property.

By Manoj Nair | DNA India

In March, the hospital’s managing committee had signed a memorandum with Krimson Healthcare, a health services company, to create a 30-year lease for a 110-bed facility at an annual lease of Rs1 crore, but the BPP which has to give the final nod rejected the deal earlier this month, saying that the committee was not authorised to sign the agreement.

Dinshaw Mehta, chairperson of the BPP, said: “The proposal is a sell-out because a property worth Rs100 crore is being leased out for an annual rent of Rs1 crore. The managing committee signed the agreement in March and informed us only in September. They do not have the power to sign any agreement as we are the owners of the hospital.”

Mehta said that the hospital’s managing committee had signed an agreement without calling for public bids to lease the property. The Parsi Lying-In hospital was inaugurated in March 1893. Built at a cost of just over Rs1 lakh, it was built like European maternity hospitals where new mothers were cared for a few weeks after child birth. But as the Parsi-Zoroastrian community’s birth rate plummeted, the hospital was closed down. There were attempts to put it to other use, including a proposal to make it an extension of a neighbouring school.The managing committee had said that since the property was lying unused for more than a decade, the orthopaedic hospital was a good idea. Committee members were not available for comment.

Dr Prakash Khubchandani of Krimson Healthcare said that the 99-year-old lease for the hospital expired in 1992. “We are renewing the lease. We are keen to continue with the project. We have worked on it. Doctors from India and from Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles are involved in the project and we have also appointed heritage experts as the building is heritage listed.”

“The terms of agreement are well defined and it has the permission of the charity commissioner. It is not that we are just paying Rs1 crore as lease. We will be spending nearly Rs100 crore to develop the hospital and will also pay annual lease rent to the government besides share the revenue with the trust,” Khubchandani said.

“The two trusts are having a meeting on the issue. It is up to them to resolve the problem.”When the project was announced, there were fears among Parsi-Zoroastrians that it will not benefit them, but Krimson Healthcare has said that the hospital will revert back to the community after the end of the lease period.

    It is really sad the BPP has rejected this deal.  Why cant they understand that this property, which is lying unused for a decade can be put to some good use and also incur some income for our community.  BPP can make an agreement with Krimson Healthcare that out of 110 beds atleast 25 beds should be kept for parsees only ( it is not clear from this report that this is going to be a cosmopolitan hospital.). This income can be used in our Parsee General Hospital where many poor parsees are cared for free.

    You must be really naive to think it would be for Parsis only. How does one enforce an agreement if later Krimson goes back on its promises or finds it unprofitable to do so? Do you think they are investing 100 crores to develope it for the love of Parsis?.

    While I agree with Ms. Pardiwala’s suggestion of reservation of beds for members of our community, I would like to tell Mr. Mullaphiroze that the game plan is to see that numbers of  Community dwindle further so that these Builder elements can  benefit in future. Already family members of existing  Trustees are being groomed to take over. If the Trustees were sincere, they could have renegotiated the deal but the ‘policy’ is to wait till our numbers are 25,000 and then open plunder will start.
    So Ms Paerdiwalla, all practical suggestions are useless with  cussed individuals who have come to power and want to act as vultures of properties handed over by ancestors.
    Rumors are floating that in the ensuing Samast Anjuman Meeting, ‘arrangements’ have been made to  boo and silence all those who ask uncomfortable questions and henchmen and sycophants will be placed strategically to do the ‘good’ work.’ Democracy Gaddafi style.

    What an irony of fate. We have more gaddafis, rajas,kalmadis and kanimozhis in parsi community. we only elect them in haste and then repent at leisure. samast anjuman meeting is just an eyewash. Do you think there will be transparency ? why 7 trustees do not have courage to declare their personal balance sheets in newspapers and on the internet ?? why they are not declaring housing pending allotments and future plans for the upliftment of the community. What are they doing for removing unemployment from the community ? Why they are not helping small entrepreneurs to start their businesses ?? Poverty is increasing day by day.They are all busy making money for themselves. What they have spent for canvassing, they have to recover now. I now personally feel that universal adult franchise is a very big disadvantage to parsee community. We have all elected wrong set of trustees. I feel sorry for the community. Really shameful.

    @Phiroze,
    All those who contested Elections had the monetary ability to feed  gluttons of various Parsee Colonies and I certainly do not have that type of resources. If those elected had genuine desire to serve, then why did they ‘invest’ in feeding and providing booze?
     @Arzan, there are chamchas who will  attend samast anjuman meet and ensure that they bully and silence all  persons who raise legitimate questions of accountability. If the Trustees are genuinely interested in transparency, then BPP Auditors should be present on dais to answer questions. So Arzan there are several intellectual Parsees like you and me but numerically there are more who think from their belly and thats a tragedy.

    Phiroze, It is you who often tell others to contest elections knowing full well that requires money  power.So first you contest elections and let us see your support base before preaching. Persons like you will indulge in flattery of those occupying chairs in high places to curry favours but all are not in your class. Persons like you will detest Auditors. One who is objective will appreciate criticism of opponent than laurels and compliments of chamchas.

    Phiroze, I have read past messages of likes of you ridiculing chances of M. Cama. You have seen the result. Why you did not contest then? Were you scared of losing?

    Phiroze,
    So according to you Trustees are doing a fine job and should not be questioned. Good if that be so. But do you understand the concept of Opportunity Cost. By keeping the place shut, is not the community losing out on rent which the place would have otherwise earned?
    Is this not a monetary loss to the entire community? Giving the place to some hospital to run would generate income so that Compounds of Colonies do not have to be given for film shooting on pretext of generating income.

    Why Bpp cannot decide anything concrete for this hospital. It took ten years for them to take a negative decion. Still they cannot decide. Why ?

    What has mr. cama done in last 5 months. Just Nothing for the parsi community. He will be fed up like mr. dadrawala very soon. history will repeat itself again.

    Had there been activity of this level of intensity on the internet a half of the present Trustees would never have have got elected. People were taken in by the war cry of “Religion in Danger’ from Dhobhee Talavwallas and the electorate is repenting now was could be  assessed from outcome of last election.You may be a clerk or an administrator of a Charity Trust, whereas I have managed large Charity as well as Private Trust and I assume my knowledge of  operations of Trusts is adequate.
    As for Trustees being bothered by what is written on the net, my question is ARE THE PARSESS BOTHERED OF WHAT IS PRINTED IN FPJ AD PAGE OR I N COMMUNITY’S ONCE RENOWNED SUNDAY WEEKLY REDUCED NOW TO  BEING A WEAKLING.

    Why Bpp cannot decide unilaterally to a logical conclusion and construct a new hospital themselves. They have amassed sufficient corpus now. We have very good doctors who can run the hospital efficiently. Lot of Employment opportunities will be given to unemployed people. As it is there are lot of parsees who are unemployed and Bpp is not giving them jobs. They are not helping them to start small scale business. If you go to Bpp asking for a job, they will give you  a salary of Rs 1,500/- per month. Recently, a lady peon was offered a salary of Rs 250/- per month in liasion committee office.

    BPP has still not done anything concrete in last 3 years except increasing court cases and increasing expenses. It is high time they sit down together more often and do something for the welfare of the community. Please stop fighting amongst yourselves and remove unemployment from the community. There are more parsees looking for jobs and an opportunity to
    start small business and they are unable to start them.

    Can anyone throw light on this topic. As usual., the Trustees cannot blame imaginary Court Cases ‘imposed’ on them in this matter of prime property in Central Business District. No sensible Parsee will oppose if the entire building is converted into a Polyclinic with say fifty percent discount to Parsees or better still reserved hours for consultation for Parsees. 
    It is said that where there is a will there is a way. The main question that arises here as a result of all this dithering is what exactly are the intents of the Trustees i.e. bonafide or otherwise.The current trustees cannot blame anybody for the waste of invaluable asset of the community. They have been saddle for nearly three years and cannot throw blame on the previous board.

    BPP has still not done anything concrete in last 3 years except increasing court cases and increasing expenses. It is high time they sit down together more often and do something for the welfare of the community. Please stop fighting amongst yourselves and remove unemployment from the community. There are more parsees looking for jobs and an opportunity to
    start small business and they are unable to start them.
