Commenting on the rising number of patients visiting the medical facility, KEM hospital dean Dr Shubhangi Parkar said the number of asthma patients visiting the hospital during this time of the year is always high. Shivani Shaha, a resident of Powai, said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m an asthmatic and my condition worsens during this time of the year.
