Rain continues to batter state, water enters Chennai hospital

With the Northeast monsoon becoming vigorous, rains continued to batter the state, even as rain water on Monday entered a Government Hospital in Chennai, causing inconvenience to the patients. As Chennai continued to reel under the impact of the monsoon, rain water on Monday entered the Tambaram Taluk Government General Hospital at Chrompet, popularly called the “Chrompet GH.” 

Authorities maintained that health care services to the people continued. “We are using motor pumps to flush out the flood water, the work is on continuously. However, since the rain continues, there is no let up in inflow too,” a medical official told PTI, adding “not all the portions of the hospital are affected, it is only to some extent on the ground level.”
