Chennai | Saturday | 21st September, 2019

Summary:

By Express News ServiceCHENNAI: At least 100 patients, including some from ICU, from Sundaram Medical Foundation at Shanti Colony, where a wall collapsed disrupting power supply, were on Friday shifted to other hospitals in the city. Officials said power supply to the hospital was disrupted and Tangedco officials were working on a war footing to restore power. Since an electricity junction box was located close to the wall, the collapse led to cables getting cut thereby disrupting power supply. The collapse also led to drainage connection getting blocked and the entire front yard of the hospital getting flooded within a short period. The hospital soon reached private and government ambulance services to shift the patients, said a relative of a patient who got admitted to another private hospital..
