Sewri TB Hospital, the biggest such medical institution run by a civic body, is once again in the news for the wrong reasons. The nursing staff held a protest at the hospital, and even went on strike, against Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC's) decision to suspend a nurse, seeking a senior doctor's resignation.

But families of the TB patients who were made to leave the hospital due to the nurses' harassment jumped to support the doctors and held a retaliatory protest at the civic headquarters.
