The heavy rain that inundated the city and led to waterlogging in South Mumbai hospitals on Wednesday, also caused commuting troubles for doctors, patients and their relatives. While patients in the casualty department of JJ Hospital in Byculla were shifted to a higher floor, doctors on duty at Nair Hospital had to do a double shift, as the entrance of the hospital was flooded until Thursday morning.

Dr Ranjeet Manakeshwar, dean of JJ Hospital, said a team from the civic body and the Public Works Department (PWD) had visited the hospital to resolve the issue.
