Two other facilities -- Government Girls Senior Secondary School (168 beds), Yamuna Vihar and Government Boys Senior Secondary School (220 beds), Shastri Park are linked to GTB Hospital, Tiwari said, "This is shameless act by the Kejriwal government by dismantling 808 beds facilities created in four centres of my constituency that too in the peak of the second wave of pandemic. As a public representative fulfilling my duty to save lives, I was in regular touch with the district administration to arrange over 800 beds in my constituency."
"But as an act of political vendetta to make people of North East Delhi suffer, the Kejriwal Government intensely ordered dismantling of Covid Care facilities. I request Chief Minister Kejriwal to leave politics aside for the time being and work together for the well being of people," Tiwari said.
