Rats Invade Madhya Pradesh Hospitals, Sparking Public Outrage

Rats Invade Madhya Pradesh Hospitals, Sparking Public Outrage

In a government hospital in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, rats were seen running around the orthopedic ward, climbing on patients' beds, and even eating their food.

This happened early on Sunday morning and caused a lot of fear and panic among the patients.

One patient's father recorded a video of the incident, which made many people angry and worried about the safety of patients in government hospitals.

The hospital officials said that the rats might have come because of the construction work happening nearby.

They also said that they would take steps to stop the rats from entering the hospital.

This is not the first time this has happened.

A few months ago, similar incidents were reported in other hospitals in the state, including one where two newborn babies died after being bitten by rats.
