Dr Nikita Trehan of M/s Privilege Health Care Services Private Limited, which is now working the hospital, had approached the BMC twice, in 2018 and 2019, for the same approval. All of the representations have been made earlier than then municipal commissioners.
Due to the seriousness of violations, the granting of OC required particular approval from the municipal commissioner.
