Vij, while talking to mediapersons, said the mortuaries of some of the old hospitals in the state were not in proper condition and required immediate renovation.
The minister said he had received some complaints that freezers were not working properly in few mortuaries.
Vij said he has directed all the civil surgeons to ensure that freezers of mortuaries of their hospitals were working properly since the summer season was at peak.
He said modern mortuaries will be made in all the newly- constructed hospitals, including Ambala Cantonment.
