The PM CARES (Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations) Fund Trust has reportedly allocated funds for the 500-bed COVID-19 makeshift hospitals at Bihta near Patna and Muzaffarpur by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on the same lines as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Makeshift Hospital in Delhi.
Speaking to a news agency after inaugurating the COVID-19 hospital, the minister said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is successfully fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The hospital is dedicated to COVID-19 and will provide treatment to the people of the state."
He assured the people of Bihar that the PM is helping the state in the fight against COVID-19 and the support would continue.
