LUCKNOW: Earlier, in January, three women facing a similar situation were moved to the same facility. With the relocation of Puttilal (50) and Kuwar (40) last week, the department bid farewell to its final long-term residents.

Puttilal, 50, was admitted to the hospital on August 24, 2020, while Kuwar was admitted on June 6, 2010, when he was just 25 years old. "Both former patients have been relocated to the Missionaries of Charity shelter home on Sapru Marg," said Dr Vivek Kumar, head of the psychiatry department at KGMU.
