The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has allegedly not paid electricity bills for its dispensary in Kandivli East, due to which its connection was cut. The SRA building it is housed in has given the dispensary a connection on humanitarian grounds, but have said that they fear some action, a report stated in this paper.

The doctor at the dispensary is seeing at least 200 patients a day because of the rush amid the Coronavirus pandemic. A large number of private practitioners have shut their clinics claiming they have no protective equipment and are at risk, as are their families if they continue to see patients. This has resulted in worried people crowding the few available options. The authorities are telling doctors to keep their clinics open, but not every doctor is willing to do so, given the high risk factor.
