AIIMS in Delhi faces backlash as it initially announces a half-day closure for the Ram Temple event, aligning with nationwide celebrations. Opposition leaders, including Shiv Sena's Priyanka Chaturvedi and Trinamool Congress's Saket Gokhale, express concern over the impact on patients. The decision prompts public and social media outcry, leading AIIMS to reverse its closure after concerns about potential disruptions to critical clinical services. Critics question prioritizing a political event over healthcare. The "pran pratishtha" of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is set for Monday, generating both anticipation and controversy over the temporary halt of routine medical activities.
