Assam | A case of ear sticking has come to light in a hospital in Assam. Where a gynecologist in a hospital operated the pregnant woman three months before the time of delivery. After the operation, when the doctor found that the fetus was not fully developed, he stitched again. This operation took place at Karimganj Civil Hospital in Assam. After the matter came to light, the hospital authorities have said that investigation is being done.
