SDM Adhartal, Shivali Singh informed that inspection at KGN hospital was conducted on the basis of complaints received against the hospital management.

 

During inspection, the investigation team found many irregularities in this private hospital including expired fire NOC.

These samples are being sent to the State Food Laboratory, Bhopal for testing. The investigation team also inspected the fish market located at Aadhartal. The team issued notices to the shopkeepers for not having health check-up of employees working in the fish market, not having food safety display boards and selling fish in the open. Samples of lobster and chicken from the fish market were also taken by the investigation team for testing. The investigation team also included officials from the Health Department, Municipal Corporation, Food and Drug Administration, Labor and Weights and Measures Department. SDM Aadhartal said that the investigation team also ensured the availability of MTP license at Swastik Hospital located at Deendayal Chowk.
