A couple of miscreants, reportedly burglars, sneaked into the Chest and TB Hospital late Monday evening. The unidentified men entered the MDR ward of the hospital. 

They reportedly tried to steal money and ransacked the ward. 

A senior hospital official said patients raised an alarm following which the miscreants ran away. 

The authorities further informed that no untoward incident was reported. 

The patients informed the doctor about the incident on Tuesday.
