Engineers from the Department of Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) marked one of the hospital's buildings red, requiring it to be demolished, and yellow to another, meanig it would be fit for use only after some repair. However, the main building of the hospital, despite several cracks and damages, got green sticker.
"We had to shift patients to the Trauma Center after they got scared to stay or get in the hospital," Dr Swayam Prakash Pandit, director at the hospital said. He informed that the damages were being repaired and it would take about a month to finish the work.

According to Dr Pandit, the renovation is likely to cost over four million rupees. MoHP has already provided the budget for the renovation. Director Pandit said that a large chunk of the fund would go to dismantle one of the hospital wings marked red by the government engineers.
Dr Pandit said that patients are facing a lot of difficulties in lack of sufficient beds at the Trauma Center. The center has a capacity to accommodate only 200 patients as against Bir's 430 beds. He also said that patients with poor financial background were especially hit hard by the shortage of beds.
