The nurses of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Municipal General Hospital, also known as Shatabdi hospital, in Kandivli West, stopped working briefly on Tuesday. Only after being convinced by the hospital's medical superintendent (MS) Pramod Nagarkar to resume work with the promise of improving work conditions within two days, the nurses resumed their duties.

According to sources, over three to four dozen nurses and other staff working in various wards stopped their work alleging that the hospital is neither properly treating Coronavirus patients nor is it caring about the staff. The MS promised to provide the staff with safety kits and fulfil their demands.
