With Navratri enthusiasm in full swing, the staff members of Sola Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, were seen playing Garba inside the ICU ward, in front of ailing patients, regional news channel TV9 reported on Monday.

Earlier in the day, the Finance, Medical Education and Health and Family Welfare Minister of Gujarat, Nitinbhai Patel, had inaugurated the new dialysis centre in the hospital. Soon after his visit, the hospital staff started playing Garba with loud music, disturbing the patients present inside the ward.

ICU ward where even the mobile phones are prohibited as per the hospital rules, the staff was playing loud music to celebrate the opening of new centre.

A video of the incident has gone viral; it shows staff members playing garba in front of old ailing patients.

As per TV9 reports, the administration wasn't aware of the proceedings, and went on to shut the loud music as soon as the matter was brought to its notice. The reports also bring to light the sheer negligence of hygiene in the ICU ward, which is of utmost importance -- the hospital staff is seen dancing with shoes and slippers.
