Reserve 10 beds at makeshift hospital on PU campus: PUTA

Chandigarh, May 15

After demanding inclusion of teachers and others as frontline warriors for Covid vaccination drive, the Punjab University Teachers Association (PUTA) has now written a letter to the Punjab Governor for reserving a minimum of 10 beds in the recently set-up 100-bed Western Command Hospital, Sector 25, PU Campus, for employees (teachers and non-teachers), along with their dependents, research scholars and students, who are entitled to services at the PU health centre.

“We applaud the setting up of a 100-bed hospital at the International Hostel on the PU campus. It is humbly submitted that a large number of PU employees, including teaching and non-teaching, and their families have already been infected by Covid-19. Some of them have even fallen prey to the virus. Under the circumstances, it is requested that at least 10 beds may be reserved,” said a commune issued by PUTA. — TNS
