CHANDIGARH: Alarmed by the recent fires, PGI has begun electrical audit of each building to prevent fires and sparks due to frequent falls during summer.
As part of the measures, dedicated electrical wiring has been provided to the air conditioners on the fourth and fifth floors of Nehru Hospital, the oldest building on the campus, to ensure there is no power strain.
“We have initiated an internal audit to avoid any mishaps during the summer season, which will be carried out at all centres of the institute,” PGI medical director Prof Vipin Kaushal said.
As Nehru Hospital does not have centralised air conditioning, wards, offices and other areas have been fitted with split or window air conditioners, which have separate wiring and load capacity.

MNNIT model helps reduce energy consumption in buildings
Scientists from MNNIT and the University of Nottingham are developing computer models to design energy-efficient buildings that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the demand for non-renewable resources. Assistant Professor Anubhav Rawat highlights the importance of designing energy-efficient buildings to reduce carbon dioxide emissions amid urbanisation. “All the obstacles have been removed.”
After delays caused by squatters, shacks and homes near Jessop Works are relocated to make way for the Metro project; the circular railway tracks are removed; and with state help the jetty is reused to help complete the project.
