Swimmers and a lifeguard faced a dire situation at the civic-run Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Swimming pool, also known as Shivaji Park swimming pool, on Wednesday morning when a 76-year-old swimmer lost consciousness in the water. 

With no doctor at the pool and no ambulance, the man was rushed to the hospital in a cab. The incident has led to members questioning the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC)  management of the pool.
