The coronation grounds near the hospital in Burari still bears an inscription and statues of the royal Durbar. In fact , the surrounding village on both sides of the road was covered with cloth when the King was taken in a royal procession from the railway station to the coronation grounds .

With the growing number of patients of non-TB respiratory diseases seeking specialized tertiary care, it was converted to an institute of Pulmonary Medicine & Tuberculosis in 2010.
