The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Chief Mr. A. Revanth Reddy on the 1st of April, Friday lashed out at the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS.)
The TPCC Chief criticized the K. Chandrashekar Rao Government over the Warangal MGMH rat attack incident. Taking to his Twitter handle, Revanth tweeted that Rats, dogs, cockroaches, cats are included in KCR kits to let the patients suffer in the hospitals.
Mr. A. Revanth Reddy further took a jibe at the Telangana Health Minister Mr. T. Harish Rao, and said, that instead of boasting about the KCR kits, the Government should provide basic facilities to the people in the hospitals. He added that the TRS should show some humanity towards the poor patients.
Earlier in the day, Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao chaired a review meeting at the MGMH. The Minister chaired a meeting in view of rat biting incident in the hospital. He is believed to have discussed the measures to be taken to avoid such incidents in the future. Dayakar Rao also inspected the sanitation works at the MGMH. It is reported that he also met the victim Srinivas and enquired about his health condition. After the appalling situation where a patient identified as Srinivas became a victim of the rat attack, the MGMH staff has now geared up the sanitation works at the hospital. The MGMH staff has put up rat traps bones in every ward and room to catch the rats. It is said that hospital officials are also planning to hold a cleaning programme to eradicate the rats’ issue in the hospital.
Furthermore, Warangal District Additional Collector Mr. Srivastava who inspected the RICU sought clarification from the hospital superintendent.
According to Superintendent Dr. B. Srinivas Rao, the patient’s attendants kept the windows and bathroom doors open and the rats sneaked inside.
The MGMH sources say that they have been experiencing rat menace for some time. Despite several complaints, there was no change in the situation, they said. This is not the first time that such an incident took place at the MGMH. A couple of years ago, it was found that rats nibbled bodies in the mortuary.
The matter is now under investigation.
