Government General Hospital
Maternity Ward No. 42
authorized intake : 65
actually admitted : 97
most busiest LABOUR ROOM
in the district
every 18 th minute
you will hear a new born cry
birth rate is higher
on Sundays and Holidays
24 x 7 Industry - very great service -
in the large pre-natal hall
there hangs a small, old sign board
both in Hindi and vernacular
' Beware of Thieves
Keep your belongings safe'
with an ugly insertion, as a last line,
‘Protect your child from being
Stolen or exchanged'
as if, the restricted labour ward is
just any other market place.
a good observation told well. imagine if the family size was like in olden days! you seem to have a good satirical ability. Keep writing sir. your mound will soon be a mountain of joy soon. Dr John Celes

It happens in every Government hospital obstetrics ward, so happened in Madurai last month. Still the police is investigating.
