Ponda highlighted that the hospital is a 250 bed COVID facility at Bhandup and must be allowed to operate especially in the present times, when citizens are running from pillar to post owing to the non-availability of beds.
At this, BMC’s senior counsel Anil Sakhare responded that the directors of this hospital were given prior notice about the hearing, however, none turned up. He also emphasised the fact that 11 patients had died in that massive fire.
On request of Sakhare to respond to Ponda’s plea, the judges adjourned the matter for hearing till April 27.
