Security Lapse at MYH: Private Agency Fined After Viral Video

A private security firm faced a fine of Rs 25,000 on Tuesday after a viral video allegedly revealed neglect, as two women carried a patient on a stretcher out of Government Maharaja Yashwantrao Chikitsalaya (MYH), officials stated.

Considered one of the largest state-operated hospitals in Madhya Pradesh, MYH is under the management of the Government Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College (GMGMMC). According to reports, the video has raised questions about the security measures in place at the hospital.

GMGMMC Dean Dr. Arvind Ghanghoria announced the penalty upon the security agency, noting, "Prima facie, the video suggests negligence." Additionally, a notice was issued to MYH Superintendent Dr. Ashok Yadav, who has been tasked with a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
