The building was vacated after it was flooded by rain water on July 15.

Spread on over 26 acres of land with some vacant land parcels, Osmania General Hospital has three blocks namely IP block, Out-Patient (OP) block, and Quli Qutb Shah block.

The state government’s move has added weight to fears among concerned citizens that the heritage building of OGH may soon be demolished.
