According to reports, the patients were chosen and instructed about the encounter before being transferred to new beds with new linen.

Digital Desk: Following the terrible incident in Morbi, Gujarat, four new water coolers were installed overnight at the Morbi government hospital before PM Narendra Modi's visit. However,  atleast one of them was devoid of water. The supply was not connected, demonstrating how hurried the clean-up was after 130 people perished in the bridge collapse on Sunday and many of the injured were transported here. 

PM Modi met some of the injured in a newly painted ward. According to reports, the patients were chosen and instructed about the encounter before being transferred to new beds with new linen.


"This is all for show. This water cooler was not here before," said a woman who was with a patient. Another woman stated that the hospital lacks basic facilities otherwise. "Workers moved in only after the Morbi bridge collapse victims were brought here and it was expected that Narendra Modi would visit."

The previously unoccupied ward on the ground level was thoroughly cleaned, and new beds were installed. Some of the new sheets included the logo of a hospital in Jamnagar, which is 160 kilometres away from Morbi. 

According to ground reports, fresh IV drip stands arrived next to each bed overnight. Before the PM arrived, two of the eight patients who had been brought here had been transferred to another ward.
 
Outside, at least 40 workmen worked through the night to repaint the hospital's facade, in addition to touch-ups within the rooms where PM Modi met the injured. The toilets were also retiled.
