Mysore/Mysuru: For people accompanying pregnant women to the State-run Cheluvamba Hospital for child birth, earth is the bed and sky is a blanket. It may sound strange, but true.
A dip in mercury coupled with occasional rain is posing more problems for the people taking shelter outside the Hospital. After dark, many of them are found cuddled inside their blankets. Shady trees, stone benches and the hospital campus surrounded by cemented floors are occupied by attendants every night as they have no dormitory inside the Hospital. Those who get a space at bus stops opposite the Hospital consider themselves fortunate.
