Man made to wait for 2 hours dies; relatives allege doctors refused to check him
Around 2 p.m., outside the Sardar Patel COVID Care Centre, two women were crying aloud next to a 45-year-old man, who was lying on the back seat of a car. He was not moving or responding to their calls. “We have been waiting here for two hours. Now there is no pulse. They even refused to check him even after we said that there was no pulse” Megh Singh, 60, his relative said. As 500 beds opened on Monday at the Sardar Patel COVID Care Centre, there was a queue of cars and ambulances outside the centre for admission. But only 123 patients were admitted, though 500 beds were installed, as per ITBP. Many went back without getting an admission.After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right?

Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
