A child has been injured after being hit by a falling chunk of the ceiling in Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) on Saturday.

Eye witnesses reported that the girl, around 14-years of age was sitting in the waiting area near the Intensive Care Unit for consultation when the chunk of ceiling fell onto her head.
