CHANDIGARH: The UT administration has given two options to six mini Covid care centres---to retain the premises till October 31 with their own security arrangements or closure of the centre and vacation of the premises.
Earlier, the UT had allowed these organisations to retain the premises till September 30, with their own security arrangements.
Yashpal Garg, chief executive officer (CEO), Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB), who was holding charge of nodal officer of mini Covid care centres, has written a letter to six organisations, and stated that keeping in mind a possible third wave of coronavirus, UT adviser Dharam Pal has requested these organizations to retain the premises till October 31, however, final decision will be taken by these organisations as it involves financial implications.
Garg has asked the organisations to submit their replies within three days.
Last time, out of seven mini Covid care centres, six had wanted to retain the premises with their own security arrangements till September 30. They had submitted their replies to the administration and accordingly six organisations were allowed to retain the premises till September 30.
