BJP flays govt over ventilators

Show comments

Chandigarh, May 14

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today slammed the Congress government for its “inefficiency and slackness” in utilising ventilators provided to Punjab from the PM Cares fund.

In a statement, Chugh said more than 800 ventilators were provided to the state way back in December. Among these, the three government medical colleges in Amritsar, Patiala and Faridkot got 300 machines.

“The state government was reminded twice by the Centre to make these operational at the earliest, but it has been lazy and inefficient to respond, putting lives of hundreds of Covid patients to grave risk,” said Chugh. He slammed the administration of the three medical colleges for raising a false alarm over technical snags. — TNS
