Morbi hospital gets makeover ahead of PM Modi's visit; Congress, AAP slam 'eventbaazi'
Morbi, November 1
The government hospital at Morbi has got a makeover ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the facility to meet those injured in Sunday’s suspension bridge collapse which claimed 134 lives.
Workers were seen cleaning and painting a portion of the 300-bed hospital, which is a ground plus two-storey structure of three wings, ahead of Modi’s visit later on Tuesday.
Six of those injured in the collapse are undergoing treatment at the hospital, while four to five other injured are being treated at a private hospital, a doctor said. So far, 56 people have been discharged, he added.
Portions of the entry gate have been painted in yellow, while some areas inside the hospital have got a coat of white paint.
The Congress tweeted images that showed repair work going on inside the Morbi hospital, to launch a tirade against the BJP.
The photos posted by the Congress on Twitter showed overnight repair work going on inside the Morbi hospital, which included a fresh coat of paint, new tiles on the walls, and minor construction work to beautify the hospital.
त्रासदी का इवेंट
कल PM मोदी मोरबी के सिविल अस्पताल जाएंगे। उससे पहले वहां रंगाई-पुताई का काम चल रहा है। चमचमाती टाइल्स लगाई जा रही हैं।
PM मोदी की तस्वीर में कोई कमी न रहे, इसका सारा प्रबंध हो रहा है।

Slamming the BJP for this “eventbaazi”, the Congress tweeted “Trasadi ka event (event of tragedy).”
The Congress claimed that these arrangements are being made for PM Modi’s photo op in the hospital. “They are not ashamed. So many people died and they are preparing for an event,” it said.
The Aam Aadmi Party, which is contesting all the 182 Gujarat Assembly seats, posted a video of the hospital being painted.
