Kolkata: The ESI Hospital, Sealdah will begin OPD services from Monday from the space available in another building that was untouched by fire. But officials said it will be difficult to admit patients as the main block is still sealed due to investigations after fire damaged the male surgical ward on Friday.
Cops have asked for a list of workers and people who were in-charge of installing the fire resistant components in the hospital.
The agency was supposed to complete installing a fire fighting system within six months starting from Jan 2023. Acting on the complaint filed by the hospital administration against the agency, the enlisted people will be called for questioning from next week, said a Narkeldanga Police officer.
“We will begin OPD services from available space including the emergency. But since the main block that houses the pathology lab and other in-patient departments are still under police custody, we will have to refer patients who need admission till we are handed over the building to us,” said Aditi Das, medical superintendent at ESI Sealdah.
