Repairs have begun on the ceiling of the waiting room area of Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, the main government-run hospital of the country, after a part of the ceiling of the Emergency Room fell yesterday.

An IGMH media official state that repairs were commenced on the part of the ceiling as soon as the incident occurred. The cause of the incident was deemed to be a water leak and the repairs are being carried out by a department of the hospital.
