A 30-year-old woman was injured when an iron railing of a Portuguese-era state run district hospital in Margao came crashing on her this afternoon.
Rizwana Khan, living in the suburban locality of Margao, had come to visit a patient in the district hospital, popularly known as Hospicio hospital.
"When she was walking, an iron railing from the second floor came crashing down on her. She was immediately taken to the casualty and later admitted. She is out of danger but kept under observation," an official attached to the hospital told PTI.
The Portuguese-era hospital is in dilapidated condition, while work on the new building in the city is currently underway.
State government has announced that the new building would be commissioned in December this year.
When contacted, State Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said that he has sought a detailed report about the incident from the hospital administration.
