He also told our correspondent that the hospital management was aware of the poor state of the elevator but failed to act.

 

“We report every time. The elevator is supposed to carry 630kg maximum, that’s eight people.”

 

He stated that since the elevator started malfunctioning, the staff of the hospital started reducing the number of people in it every time to avoid congestion.

 

“Once you open the elevator and see two people already, you just have to wait for the next batch.”

 

“It was faulty and they knew about it. That’s why we’re not going to take this,” he stated.
