CHANDIGARH: On Monday morning, long queues were seen outside the out patient department's card registration counter shed of Government Multi-specialty Hospital in Sector 16, as it was locked. Attendants waited for hours only to be informed that the window has been shifted to the emergency building.
According to officials, the department was closed after some parts of the shed collapsed on Saturday midnight following heavy rain.
"I came early in the morning to get my mother's registration card. After hours we were informed that the window has been shifted," said Ramesh Kumar, a resident of Sector 40.
While Dr S D Bakshi from GMSH said, "We had to shift these windows in emergency and we are trying our best to facilitate patients coming from outside for treatment."
