The ICU at Aundh District Hospital, with 14 beds and near full occupancy, experienced over a week without a functioning air-conditioning system due to a motor failure. Maintenance delays by the public works department led to poor ventilation and concerns over patient comfort and infection risks. To ensure uninterrupted critical care, all ICU patients were shifted to a standby ICU with proper cooling. Hospital officials expect repairs to be completed soon, aiming to prevent future disruptions.
