Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A new Covid Care centre is being set up in the city to accommodate hundreds of patients under one roof. Indore is facing several challenges due to rising coronavirus cases, including lack of beds in hospitals, and shortage of oxygen and injections. In order to manage the severity of the crisis, the Indore Development Authority, along with Radha Swami Satsang Beas volunteers, have started construction of a new Covid-19 facility on a war footing.

More than 100 people from Indore Development Authority and activists associated with Radha Swami Satsang have prepared 150 beds along with other construction work in the entire campus. The Indore district administration has selected this place because when the infection spread in March-April last year, a large number of migrants and students were accommodated in this campus.

The centre will have a capacity of 2000 beds. Around 500 beds will be initially prepared within five days. The beds are made of low-cost cardboard which will be discarded after use. If needed, the capacity of the centre can also be increased to 8,000 beds. A separate master plan has also been prepared related to the management of the centre. Food will also be provided to the patients free of cost in the facility by Radha Swami Satsang.
