After one month of closure of BKC, Dahisar and Mulund jumbo covid centres after they got damaged in Tauktae cyclone, the BMC decided to keep them close till further notice. The centres were closed for repairing and the decision taken amid the lower number of cases. Though the hospitals are closed the vaccination centres at the premises will be active.

The temporary structures set up by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) at Mulund, BKC and Dahisar could not withstand the gusty winds brought in by Cyclone Tauktae on May 17. The BMC had already shifted all the 580 patients, 243 from BKC, 183 from Dahira and 154 from Mulund jumbo centre to the NESCO, SevenHills units and nearby hospitals on the previous day. The patients remained safe at other units, the centres needed immediate repairing. “We told the contractors to repair them within 10 days. Till then we decided to close the admission,” said one of the BMC officials.
