The action was taken after Pawar conducted a surprise visit to the Satara District Hospital. The notice was issued to Satara civil surgeon Dr Yuvraj Karpe, deputy civil surgeon Dr Subhash Kadam, matron Sarla Pund and other healthcare staff on September 21.

“Most shocking was to find the ICU, general and male wards stinking and dirty,” Pawar said.
