On Wednesday, three decomposed monkey carcasses were found in a water storage tank at the Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College in Nuh, Haryana, India. This alarming discovery followed complaints from residents of the nursing staff quarters about foul-smelling and contaminated water. Upon inspection, workers found one carcass initially, but further draining of the tank revealed two more. Mukesh Kumar, the college director, confirmed that the tanks were promptly emptied and cleaned, and the water supply was temporarily halted as a precaution. The state health department has launched an investigation to determine how the monkeys accessed the tanks and to establish accountability for the oversight. The incident has also ignited political controversy, with Congress MLA Aftab Ahmed accusing the administration of gross negligence and highlighting the deteriorating conditions at the medical college.

The medical college has stated that they are conducting water quality checks and will take further action based on the inquiry's findings.
