Kaushal Kishore has raised a complaint over the complete callousness of authorities in KGMU and Balrampur hospitals in Lucknow. He said that most of the beds in these facilities lie vacant while authorities are either on leave or completely unmindful of the raging pandemic. Both hospitals are government-run and as per him are badly managed.
Sunil Bharala, on the other hand, has complained about the non-availability of beds, oxygen and life-saving drugs in Meerut and requested the chief minister to personally intervene for the benefit of Covid-19 patients.
