CM Ashok Gehlot welcomes decision to audit operation of ventilators supplied under PM CARES Fund
After the supply of defective ventilators through the PM CARES Fund came to light in Rajasthan, the State government on Saturday decided to formulate a special plan of action for containing the COVID-19 pandemic in Jaipur. The State capital has accounted for 24% of the total active cases in Rajasthan. The administration is likely to intensify the restrictions in Jaipur with the demarcation of containment zones, expansion of testing activities, and rigorous contract tracing after identifying positive cases. Free medicine kits will also be distributed in residential areas of the district. Active cases in Jaipur crossed 45,500 on Saturday, while the number in the State stood at 2.08 lakh. At the dedicated hospital at the Rajasthan University of Health Sciences and in most private hospitals in the city, all beds with ventilators and oxygen support were occupied.
