A disturbing incident occurred at Indore Airport when a passenger was bitten by a rat in the departure area, as confirmed by an official release. Describing the event as "unfortunate," the airport management quickly enacted preventive measures to safeguard passenger well-being.
The cleaning and pest control agencies faced penalties under contract terms, and a duty doctor was relieved for insensitivity towards the victim, the statement reported. Airport personnel have been instructed to avoid repeat occurrences.
The perilous presence of rats had tragic implications earlier this month at MY hospital, where two newborns were bitten, leading to their deaths. The hospital dean enforced strict measures, issuing suspensions and notices to responsible staff, and switching pest control agencies.
