The Sivagangai District Health Officer (DHO) is investigating a complaint alleging a New Year's liquor party was held in the maternity ward of the Sembanur Government Primary Health Centre. A youth's friend discovered liquor bottles and food in the doctors' rest area after finding the facility unattended for emergency treatment. The incident gained attention after a video of the scene went viral on social media. A doctor on duty stated they were in another building and suggested outsiders might have entered the room.
