A disturbing incident has come to light at North Bengal Medical College Hospital, North Bengal's largest medical facility, where a human body was reportedly found partially consumed by dogs, causing widespread sensation and raising serious questions about the hospital's security and morgue management. Local sources indicate that dogs were observed eating the body, although it remains unclear whether the remains were brought from the hospital's morgue or discovered elsewhere on the campus.
This shocking discovery has ignited public outcry and prompted scrutiny of the hospital's long-standing issue with stray dogs. According to the hospital management, the problem of a large stray dog population within the campus has persisted for a considerable time. They stated that numerous meetings have been held, and various organizations, including the Municipal Corporation, have been informed about the challenge, but a definitive solution has yet to be found.
Hospital officials revealed that more than 150 dogs roam the medical college campus, creating significant difficulties for night guards and other staff members. The management attributes a major reason for the dogs' presence to food discarded by patients or left behind on the premises, which attracts the animals. Authorities are now under increased pressure to implement effective measures to control the stray dog population and ensure the sanctity and security of the hospital premises, especially its morgue facilities.
