The highest number of five hospitals was sealed in the Varachha B zone, while two all hospitals were sealed in Udhna and Katargam.
A total of 12 hospitals have been sealed in part in the Varachha zone.
“We asked the hospital to give permission to develop and build user certificates.
If they failed to hand over us sealed the place,” said Zona officer Varachha B.
Senior official claimed that there was a limited possibility that the hospital would be allowed to reopen.
“Hospitals that cannot produce development permits may not be allowed to reopen,” Banchhanidhi Pani said, Commissioner SMC.
