Brief By Newsbrief / 12:41 PM on 24 Aug 2026
A video purportedly showing Vaishali Primary Health Centre medical officer Seema Saroj dancing to a Bhojpuri song during a Sawan celebration has gone viral on social media. The reportedly two-day-old video was allegedly recorded inside the PHC’s meeting hall, where a cultural programme was held. A health department poster is visible in the footage.
The video has triggered mixed reactions. Some viewers described the dance as part of a cultural celebration, while others questioned whether such an event was appropriate inside a health facility. Local claims have surfaced alleging emergency patients face delays at the PHC, though these allegations remain unverified.
The circumstances surrounding the programme, including whether it had permission, remain unclear. No response from the health department or hospital administration has been reported. Officials’ clarification or an inquiry could establish whether any rules were breached and address concerns about healthcare services.
