While the social organisations will make arrangements for beds, food, oxygenated beds, oxygen cylinders and concentrators, medical staff, medicines, PPE kits, manager and security guards, the UT Administration will provide permission, regulation of admission of patients, ambulances, periodic visit by doctors and garbage collection facilities. The UT Sports department currently has more than 20 sports complexes and stadiums and the Sector 43 Sports Complex has one multi-purpose hall, apart from two small halls serving as badminton, squash and table tennis facilities. “The Chandigarh chapter of the US-based United Sikhs will run the mini Covid care centre at Sector 43. We applied for permission on Thursday and got the approval. Our team from Delhi will arrive soon and set up the centre. Apart from 80 percent oxygenated beds, we are also bringing in 50-60 oxygen concentrators that we purchased through donations abroad and sent to India. If needed, we plan to add 50 more beds to each facility. We believe that the way the pandemic has spread, all of us need to be together in this fight,” said Amardeep Singh, Chandigarh representative of United Sikhs.
