A Jain temple in Kandivali area of Mumbai has been converted into a Covid care centre amid rising Covid-19 cases in the state. The five-floor Pawan Dham temple now accommodates 100 beds with oxygen supply. With Mumbai facing an acute shortage of hospital beds with oxygen supply, the Jain temple has decided to extend its services and help patients. “Service and donation is the most important thing in life.
