Medical College's Dirty Secret: Toilet Tap Water Used in Kitchen

Madhya Pradesh (The Uttam Hindu) : A shocking video has surfaced from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, showing water from a toilet tap being used in the kitchen area during a national medical conference. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious concerns over hygiene and sanitation protocols.

The conference, held on February 6 was attended by prominent doctors and medical experts from across the country. However, the event took a disturbing turn when a video emerged showing a person filling a bucket with water from a toilet tap which was then carried to the kitchen area. According to eyewitnesses the water was used to clean dirty utensils and prepare food, sparking fears of contamination and food poisoning. The incident has raised serious questions over the college's hygiene and sanitation protocols, particularly in the kitchen area. In response to the backlash, the college's dean, Navneet Saxena, has claimed that the water was only used for cleaning dirty utensils and not for cooking. However, the explanation has done little to assuage the concerns of the public.

"We take the allegations very seriously and have initiated an investigation into the matter," said a spokesperson for the college. "We will take strict action against those responsible for the lapse." The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in institutions. The health department has initiated an investigation into the incident and action is expected to be taken against those responsible.

This incident is not the first time that concerns have been raised over hygiene and sanitation in institutions. Last year, a video of rats being spotted in utensils inside the kitchen mess at IIT-Roorkee sparked outrage on social media, highlighting the need for stricter protocols and greater accountability. The incident at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College serves as a stark reminder of the need for stricter hygiene and sanitation protocols, particularly in institutions where food is prepared and served. As the investigation into the incident continues, one thing is clear: the public will not tolerate such blatant disregard for hygiene and sanitation and institutions must be held accountable for their actions.
