Tiwari further said that despite all efforts by the NMC, the situation in Nagpur is getting critical by the day and hence state government should arrange for 1,000 beds, which it had announced last year. He also urged Guardian Minister Dr Nitin Raut to look into the matter immediately.
Speaking about the shortage of Remdesivir in the city, Tiwari said that NMC should quickly buy 5,000 vials of Remdesivir so as to provide relief to citizens who are undergoing treatment at different hospitals. Tiwari further said that NMC should indulge social organizations to fight COVID-19.
