New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has expressed its displeasure over the Delhi government making an incorrect statement on May 10 that 250 beds in the new dedicated COVID-19 facility in Dwarka -- Indira Gandhi Hospital -- were already operational.
"It was not fair on the part of the Delhi government to give incorrect facts," a bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said and added that "the newspapers of Saturday said 250 beds in the hospital were operationalised, but not a single bed has been occupied till date".
The remarks were made after the Delhi government apologised for making an incorrect statement on May 10 about the COVID facility in the hospital.
The bench was informed by the Delhi government that for want of oxygen cylinders and concentrators the beds have not yet been operationalised.
