Ballia (UP), Jul 27 (PTI) After a video of patients being treated in torchlight at the emergency room of the district hospital here went viral, health department officials on Sunday said the situation arose due to a combination of power outage in the area and a technical glitch in the hospital’s generator.
Chief Medical Superintendent of Ballia district hospital Dr S K Yadav told PTI Bhasha that power supply in the area was disrupted on Friday evening. The generator that supplies power to the emergency medical building also had a technical problem, resulting in an outage that lasted 45 minutes.
Yadav said that someone might have made a video of the situation and posted it online, which went viral on Saturday.
After the issue came to light, a sufficient number of inverters were installed in the emergency medical room and the system has been made efficient, he added. PTI COR CDN RUK RUK
