According to information, State Energy Minister Pradhuman Singh Tomar made a surprise visit to the Shivpuri District Hospital. He checked the wards and the corridors. He first inspected the medical ward, where he found filth, and even the toilet of the ward was found jammed. Similarly, the surgical ward and the ICU ward were too stinking and covered with filth.
The minister got upset after seeing the filth; he cleaned the hospital premises with a wiper himself. Then, he lodged an FIR in Kotwali police station against the cleaning agency, Sigma Infotech, in the night itself. He also took the copy of the FIR with him.
Minister raises concern on poor water facility, absence of ambulance
It was reported that he stayed in the district hospital for about 2 hours. He also expressed his displeasure over the absence of a driver of an ambulance parked on the premises.
While inspecting, the minister stood near a water cooler and asked, "Yahan se pani kon pi skta hai?" (Who can drink water from here?) He also asked the hospital authorities to deploy one policeman in the hospital premises all the time, and guards should be in the uniform; otherwise, no one would recognise them.
The state energy minister, Pradhuman Singh Tomar, asked Collector Ravindra Kumar Choudhary to improve the functioning of the district hospital.
