Hyderabad: MLA Janampalli Anirudh Reddy condemned the Jadcherla hospital incident and demanded strict action after stray dogs fed on a body at the Government Hospital.
Bhimesh, a resident of Nagasala village in Jadcherla municipality, fell into a pond and died. Later, authorities shifted his body to the Jadcherla Government Hospital.
However, hospital staff allegedly left the corpse unattended without basic security or sanitation safeguards. As a result, stray dogs entered the premises and fed on the body.
Expressing anger, the MLA conveyed condolences to the bereaved family. He said the lapse exposed grave administrative negligence and failure of supervision at the hospital.
