The Standing Committee chairman has ordered the BMC administration on Tuesday to pay the dues it owes Wadia hospital. While Wadia has claimed that BMC owes it dues of Rs 137 crore, the civic administration insists it owes only Rs 21 crore and will pay this soon. The Wadia Hospitals group stopped admitting patients last week due to lack of funds as the state government and subsequently the BMC stopped payment of grants.

Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has ordered setting up of a committee to look into alleged irregularities at the hospital, Mayor Kishori Pednekar said on Tuesday. The CM also ordered transfer of R46 crore to the hospital so that suspended services can be resumed, she added.
