Bhabha Hospital Lift Restored, Aiding Dialysis Patients
Imagine a hospital elevator that broke.
For a whole month, people needing special kidney treatment couldn't easily reach the second floor.
This made things tough, especially for older folks, those really sick, and people in wheelchairs.
Someone who helps get information, like a detective, complained to the city.
The city boss quickly told the hospital to fix it.
Just a few days later, the elevator was working again, making everyone happy.
The lift at Bhabha Hospital in Kurla, Mumbai, was restored after being non-functional for a month.
The lift's malfunction caused severe inconvenience to dialysis patients.
RTI activist Anil Galgali complained to the BMC regarding the issue.
Dr. Vipin Sharma, a BMC commissioner, issued immediate instructions to resolve the problem.
The lift was repaired and operational within three days of the complaint.
