Rats nibble body inside ICU of hospital in Madhya Pradesh
Sagar : A family in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district has claimed that they found rat-bite marks on the body of their 70-year-old relative which was returned following his death in the hospital’s ICU, prompting an inquiry into the matter.
Virendra Chadar, of Sukha Satpara village, said his ailing father Jagdish Chadar (70) had been serious and admitted to the ICU of Damoh district hospital on Monday night.
“At around 2 am, we were informed that he had died. While taking my father’s body we noticed some injury marks near his left eye and some ointment put there. The staff told us that a rat had bitten him,” he said.
Chadar said he was in a state of shock and did not raise the issue then, but he demanded action in the matter.
Dr Mamta Timori, civil surgeon, said she came to know of the incident on Wednesday morning.
“No one from the staff informed me about the incident. I have issued notice to the staff nurse on duty and also ordered an inquiry. I have also contacted an Indore-based pest control company to exterminate the rats,” she said.
Human rights activist, Manoj Devariya said this is not the first case of irregularity coming to light in the district hospital, but no action has been taken in earlier cases.
He said a rat getting into the ICU is a serious matter and a high level inquiry should be ordered and action should be taken against guilty.

Roof collapse in Raipur's under-construction building claims two lives, injures six
Chhattisgarh: Raipur witnessed a tragic accident on January 11, 2025, when the roof of the seventh floor of an under-construction building, Avinash Elegance, collapsed in the posh VIP Road area. The incident resulted in the death of two workers and left six others seriously injured.
The mishap occurred while 10 laborers were engaged in ceiling casting work. A portion of the roof suddenly caved in, causing the workers to fall nearly 90 feet to the ground. The collapse also brought down centering plates and iron stands, trapping the laborers under debris.
The deceased were identified as Rehmat Beg from Balodabazar and Ramdas Pando, while the injured include Tejram Sahu, Kuleshwar, Komal Nirmalkar, Vishwajeet Netam, Hitesh Kumar, and Anil Kumar from Bhagalpur, Bihar. While Anil Kumar's condition is reportedly stable, others remain critical and are undergoing treatment at VY Hospital.
The Telibandha police have registered a case of negligence under sections 125(A) and 106 (1) BNS against project manager Ajay Gautam, engineer Ved Prakash, contractor Nishant Sahu, and others overseeing the construction.
District Collector Gaurav Singh and Senior Superintendent of Police Lal Ummed Singh visited the site to assess the situation. SSP Lal Ummed assured a thorough investigation, vowing that those responsible would face strict action.
Eyewitness accounts suggest negligence during the placement of centering plates, which allegedly contributed to the collapse. Calls for an impartial probe have been made by locals and workers’ representatives to ensure justice for the victims.
