Winged Ants Force Closure of Operation Theaters at Durg District Hospital

A bizarre situation has unfolded at a government hospital in Chhattisgarh's Durg district, where swarms of winged ants have forced the closure of two operation theatres (OTs) in the mother-child unit. Heavy monsoons caused the flying insects to infiltrate the hospital, prompting the administration to shut the facilities as a precautionary measure to maintain sterile conditions and ensure patient safety.

Key Highlights of the Incident:

• Precautionary Closure: The OTs were shut down after a large number of winged ants entered the premises due to ongoing heavy rains in the state.

• Alternative Arrangements: Civil Surgeon Dr. Ashish Minj confirmed that all required procedures and surgeries are currently being managed through the hospital's emergency operation theatre.

• No Patient Transfers: The hospital administration assured that no patient has been referred to another facility because of this incident.

• Restoration Process: Pest control and repair works are actively underway, and the administration expects the OTs to become fully operational again within the next few days.
