Thiruvananthapuram: Even as leptospirosis (rat fever) has gripped the country and sent panic waves the airport authority continues to be negligent and careless. All those who grab a snack at the airport are in most probably eating the remains of disease spreading rats. A video of a fearless rat nibbling at its food at the Thiruvananthapuram airport snack centre, oblivious of the video-grapher has been doing its rounds on the internet.
The rat was spotted at The Muthoot Plaza snacks bar. More than 16 people have succumbed to leptospirosis in the past few days.
