Government Hospital in Chennai faces criticism after a video showing a rat consuming food from the canteen went viral.

The public’s anger at government-run institutions is still there after yet another dubious video went viral online and infuriated viewers. A video of a rat eating and infesting the cafeteria food at a government hospital in Chennai went viral on social media, raising several health and safety-related issues. According to reports, the Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital was the scene of the event. The shocking discovery was made when a patient’s family allegedly went to the cafeteria to get some lunch but instead saw the unsettling scene. Everyone was able to see the same footage, and after seeing it, they were ready to criticize the hospital administration.

The user “vani_mehrotra” posted the video on the social media platform X, which was once known as Twitter. “Video shows a rat crawling over food items kept at Stanley Government hospital canteen in Chennai,” the post’s description said. One of the patient’s relatives took the footage.

Many had positive things to say about the video, which is why it is becoming viral. The majority made fun of government buildings, where locals have seen such incidents occur often in recent months, but others emphasized the seriousness of the hospital food rat infestation problem. Hundreds of people watched the video after it was posted today.

People expressed their opinions on the internet and criticized the authorities for their negligence. In all government hospitals in India, rats, mutta poochi, cockroaches, stray dogs, and mosquitoes are quite widespread. A series for the Discovery Channel might be shot. Yes, it’s terrible, but do you have any ideas for a fix? said one user. Another said, “Why take vengeance on this rat alone? Too many rats are eating away too many things, and no one bothered to check those details all these years.”
