Railways has converted 4,002 train coaches
as a COVID-19 care-cum-isolation facility to assist state governments
facing shortage of beds in their states. These coaches will be allocated
to state governments on request. Minister for Railways, Piyush Goyal
took to Twitter to post a few pictures of railway coaches converted to
COVID-19 care centre in Maharashtra's Nandurbar. Railways has deployed
94 coaches in Maharashtra's Nandurbar. These coaches will be used by the
state government when they exhaust their own medical facilities.
Meanwhile, Northern Railways has deployed 50 isolation coaches at
Delhi's Shakur Basti railway station and 25 such facilities will be
placed at Anand Vihar. This development came after the Delhi government
requested Railways to arrange up to 5,000 beds in view of the rising
Coronavirus cases in the national capital.
