In Jalaun on Wednesday night the attendants brought their patients out of the district hospital in the open and the entire hospital was emptied in a matter of 30 minutes.
The reason was the blistering heat and no electricity supply after the sole generator stopped working around 8 pm.
The patients, the people said, remained outside the hospital till Thursday morning, and were moved in when the electricity supply resumed after nearly 24 hours. By then many less serious patients were taken away to their respective houses.
