According to an official statement, she reprimanded officers for the problems faced by patients, especially in the children's ward, due to heaps of debris scattered around the hospital and the poor condition of toilets.

However, the minister found that medicines were available in sufficient quantities in the pharmacy.

Later, she told reporters that many districts of Haryana have been affected due to floods. During this time, health department officers and staff are monitoring people's health and distributing free medicines, reports PTI.

While interacting with the media, the Health Minister said that to maintain cleanliness and avoid causing any inconvenience to patients, the new building of the LNJP hospital, which is under construction will be completed in a phased manner. She emphasised special focus towards improving hygiene and upgrading all the toilets, reports TOI.
