Jamshedpur.
The ceiling plaster of the emergency dressing room of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical (MGM) Hospital suddenly fell on Sunday afternoon. It was a coincidence that an injured person had passed by there just a few minutes ago. Due to this, the employees and the injured patients were saved from becoming victims of the accident. This is not the first incident of plaster falling in MGM Hospital. Even before this, many incidents of falling of balcony and plaster have happened. However, no one was hurt during that time. Some vehicles were damaged due to falling of roofs. Here the hospital management says that a new building of MGM Hospital is being built at a cost of Rs 425 crore. The old building has to be demolished, due to which repairs are not being done.
