The Union Health Ministry has allowed the state government to procure 50 additional ambulances from the funds available under Emergency Covid Response Package-II (ECPR-II).

He said following Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur’s meeting with Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in New Delhi on Thursday, the Health Ministry had accepted several demands of the state government.

He said the state government had also been given a go-ahead for brick and mortar constructions in place of pre-fabricated structures to tackle the Covid pandemic as and when required.
