India, Dec. 27 -- A 20-year-old pregnant woman in labour was allegedly made to sleep on the floor outside the delivery ward of Civil Hospital in Sector 10A for the last 48 hours since Wednesday, alleged her family members on Friday. However, officials from the hospital denied the family's claims saying that the woman denied the bed she was assigned to.

She was allotted a bed at around 7pm by the hospital authorities in papers, but her bed was already occupied by another patient at the time due to a shortage, according to the woman's family and hospital officials privy to matter.
