Bidhuri suggested the government that Centre’s assistance can also be sought if necessary.

Bridhuri wrote, “For the past two days, over 5,000 case have been reported. The situation is very worrying. So, it is necessary that an all-party meeting should be called and the government should tell what preparations it has made to prevent the spread of the disease.”

He also suggested that the government should use the existing sports facilities to meet the requirement for beds for patients. “The government should construct temporary hospitals at Chhatrasal Stadium, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Shivaji Stadium, Ambedkar Stadium, Indira Gandhi Stadium and the vacant land at Burari where Nirankari Sant Samagam is held without any delay. This way a large number of Covid patients can be treated,” he wrote.

An AAP spokesperson did not comment on the demand.
