The Gurugram Civil Hospital was without power for almost 12 hours today, forcing doctors to treat patients in the OPD and wards using light from their mobile phones.
The power supply, which had snapped on Sunday, could not be restored completely even until the afternoon today, throwing the entire hospital out of gear. Serpentine queues were seen at registration desks as computers were not working and the entire process had to be completed manually. All wards were plunged in darkness with no fans, and many attendants were seen carrying newborn babies in corridors for a gulp of air.
