He turned furious about the sad state of sanitation on the premises of the hospital. He observed that used syringes and garbage was thrown in the hospital area.

As per guidelines, government offices and hospitals need to spend at least two hours on sanitation as part of Swachh Bharat.

As there was no supervision at the hospital, the filthy premises was posing threat to the visitors and people in surrounding areas.

There was need to take action against officials responsible for the poor sanitation, he added.
