Now in a shocking video that is going viral, surgeons are seen performing an operation under a mobile phone torchlight.

Yes, the footage is reportedly from a government hospital in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, and has caused a stir, people slammed the sorry conditions in which many Indian hospitals operate, reports the Indian Express.

Dr DS Raju Naidu, medical superintendent, of the Guntur Government General Hospital said that there was no electricity on February 10 as the Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh was doing regular maintenance work of power lines.
