The conflict over the paucity of funds between the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the management of Wadia Hospitals has continued to escalate. While the civic administration promised to clear the pending dues, senior civic officials said they would decide on the matter after the meeting with the Mayor and Wadia management officials on Tuesday.

The situation came to light after Wadia Hospitals stopped admitting patients last week due to lack of sufficient funds since the state government and subsequently the BMC stopped the payment of grants.
