Around 40 patients, including three on ventilator, were shifted from the Delhi government-run Sushruta Trauma Centre after the hospital premises got inundated with the floodwater on Thursday.

Officials said that authorities have kept AIIMS, Safdarjung and Bara Hindu Rao Hospital on alert as they may get affected due the water scarcity.

In the last five days, 19 people have died and 28 have been injured due to various reasons in rain-related disasters. The state government has ordered closure of all schools in the state till July 15.

The agency had registered the case on May 18, 2022 against Lalu Prasad and 15 others including his wife, two daughters, and unidentified public servants and private persons.

Sources said Shinde has refused to concede the key portfolios to NCP ministers, including Ajit Pawar, arguing that it will reduce his importance in the government.

However, sources said that the final call has not been taken yet and it will be taken only after approval for security as Rahul Gandhi is accorded Z-plus security.
