Nagpur would soon have a 1000-bed COVID-19 Care Centre at Mankapur Indoor Stadium after the state government agreed to set up the same. The centre would have 300 oxygenated beds and 400 beds with ventilators. On August 19, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) had submitted a proposal to the state government asking for a 1,000-bed COVID-19 care set up.

The bench comprising justice Ravi Deshpande and Pusha Ganediwala had asked the state government to respond within a week vis-à-vis the setting up of the jumbo COVID-19 care centre. Moreover, the judges had directed the Chief Secretary to appear before them if the state government failed to decide upon the proposal made by the NMC.

The bench expressing shock over the state government’s inaction on the same. The order read, We are surprised as to how the State Government is not responding to such proposal. The situation in Nagpur is dreadful. The death rate is increasing day by day. Mortuaries are full. There is a queue in crematoria. The patients are not getting ventilators and oxygenated beds. The situation is becoming ferocious.
