Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde visited Krantiveer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Hospital in Vikhroli following protests over the ICU's nine-month closure. Residents, concerned about inadequate healthcare and staffing shortages, demanded the reopening of the 10-bed ICU, which closed due to air-conditioning repairs completed months ago. Tawde assured the ICU would reopen within one to two months and announced plans to appoint 10 doctors and additional staff to improve services, with the proposal pending administrative approvals.
