Winged Ants Cause Temporary Closure of Two Operation Theatres at Durg Hospital
Two operation theatres in the mother-child unit of a government hospital in Durg, Chhattisgarh, have been closed for 10 days due to swarms of winged ants entering the facilities amid heavy rains. The hospital's emergency OT is handling all surgeries, with no patients referred elsewhere. Pest control and repairs are underway, and the OTs are expected to reopen within two to three days. Heavy rains have caused flooding and disrupted connectivity in parts of the state.
