Kalaburagi: In a shocking video that is going viral on social media, a group of pigs is seen wandering in the premises of COVID Hospital in Kalburagi District, triggering public outrage against the hospital and district administration.

Deputy Commissioner Sharath B visited the hospital even as the people started expressing their ire at the situation. He immediately instructed the owner of the pigs to take the animals away.

The Deputy Commissioner also expressed dissatisfaction about the GIMS officer not taking action on the group of pigs roaming on the hospital premises, since hundreds of patients visit the hospital daily, and instructed the officer to file an FIR against the owner of the pigs for letting his animals near the hospital.

He inspected the compound walls of the hospital and instructed Rahul Pande, the City Corporation Commissioner, to install barricades to close all small entrances that may lead to a repetition of such incidents.

In addition, the Deputy Commissioner took the security guards at the GIMS Hospital to the task, for failing to prevent the pigs from entering the hospital premises.

Zilla Panchayat CEO Dr P Raja, GIMS Director Dr. Kavitha Patil, Medical Superintendent Dr. Shafiuddin, District Hospital Superintendent Dr. Ambaraya Rudrawadi and Corporation Health Inspector Dhanaraj were present.
