City hospital under HYDRAA scanner for construction and operation breaches

Hyderabad: A surprise inspection at Dr Shankar's Hospital near RTC Crossroads uncovered at least five major construction and operational violations , drawing strong criticism from HYDRAA commissioner AV Ranganath. The commissioner visited the site on Friday after complaints were received via Praja Vaani, the public grievance portal. "How can a hospital have so many violations?

It had also flouted fire safety norms. Ranganath pulled up hospital owner Dr Shankar, demanding all approvals and an explanation for how such a structure came up. He also questioned the role of civic officials in granting operational licenses without ensuring compliance.
