According to reports, instead of providing cool air, the ICU air conditioner started dripping rainwater directly onto beds where seriously ill patients were being treated.

The ward housed critical patients on ventilators and monitoring machines, making the situation more dangerous.

Patients and their families struggled to protect themselves from the leaking water.

Relatives alleged that despite repeated complaints, hospital staff and management did not take immediate action.

The continuous leakage also caused dampness on walls, raising concerns about possible short circuits and electrical hazards in an area filled with life-support equipment.

Family members said the situation increased the risk of infection and could endanger patients already in a critical condition.

Despite claims of improved healthcare facilities and a large budget allocation, the incident highlighted serious negligence in hospital maintenance.

Authorities were urged to take immediate action and repair the ICU infrastructure to ensure a safe environment for patients. The health department said that necessary steps would be taken as per rules.
