“The 10,000 bedded COVID 19 Care Centre at Radha Soami Beas is the largest of its kind. I pray to God that the number of COVID patients remains less and these beds remain unutilized”, the Minister of States for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy told to media.
More than 1000 doctors, nurses and paramedical staff of ITBP and other CAPFs and 1000 more paramedical, assistant and security staffs have been deployed at the facility to operate it smoothly.
