‘People have lost faith in govt hospitals’

Inaugurating the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s eighth Covid care centre in the state at Guru Nanak Sangat Hospital, Kalra village, of Adampur town in Jalandhar on Monday, the SGPC chief said people have lost faith in government hospitals due to lack of arrangements for Covid patients.

“The Centre has failed to provide vaccines to Punjab despite high mortality rate. Punjab needs a bold leadership at this juncture. I urge the CM to visit most-affected districts and also direct his ministers to engage with the people directly to resolve their issues like lack of oxygen, medicines and quality medical care.”
