Principal Secretary of Health and Family Welfare Department J.

Addressing the media after inspecting the allocation of more than 300 additional beds for COVID-19 at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, he acknowledged that there was some laxity among a section of officials and stressed on the need to not squander the gains achieved earlier due to effective control and monitoring measures.
