The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has rejected the new site proposed by the Bihar government for setting up the second Bihar All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Darbhanga district, terming the land as "unsuitable" and asking the state government to provide an alternative land for the project.

This is the second time the site for the project has run into problems. Earlier, the state government handed over 81 acres of land in the Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) campus after the state cabinet agreed to transfer 200 acres of DMCH land for the proposed AIIMS in November 2021.
