A viral video has emerged showing patients being treated under torchlight in the emergency room of Ballia district hospital. The incident occurred due to a power outage in the area combined with a technical glitch in the hospital's generator.
Dr. S K Yadav, Chief Medical Superintendent of the hospital, explained that the power supply disruption took place on Friday evening. The subsequent generator failure led to a 45-minute power outage affecting the emergency medical services.
In response to the situation, hospital authorities have installed a series of inverters in the emergency room to ensure power stability and prevent similar incidents in the future.
