The installation work of Hydrant system, which was formally kick started recently by Ravi Kumar, expected to be completed in two or three months.
Ravi Kumar said that the Hydrant system will be laid to an extent of three kilometres to cover all the institutions in the sprawling SVIMS complex, including all the hospital wings, Nursing College, Physiotherapy College, Sri Padmavathi Women MedicalCollege, to ensure proper safety.
In the next stage, SVIMS contemplating to install smoke detecting sensors and alarm for further enhancement of fire safety in the hospital. Simultaneously, training staff, including sanitation, ward boys, nurses and others, would be taken up in batches on fire safety measure and handling the Hydrant system.
