Sir JJ Hospital has geared up to avoid waterlogging during monsoon. In a meeting with the Public Works Department (PWD) on Tuesday, the hospital authorities discussed several measures, from installing pumps to building walls and increasing the width of sewage pipes.

Every year, during the monsoon, the hospital faces two challenges: patients suffering from monsoon-related ailments and waterlogging in the main building area, the ground floor of which was flooded the past two years.
