Bheemili MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao found empty liquor bottles lying on the premises of the Madhurawada Primary Health Centre during a surprise inspection here recently. The visit was conducted as part of the Swachh Andhra-Swarnandhra programme.
During the inspection, the legislator pulled up the hospital staff and questioned how patients could maintain faith in the healthcare facility under such conditions.
Local residents informed the MLA that cattle regularly stray onto the hospital grounds and that anti-social elements use the premises to consume alcohol at night.
