Hubballi, Mar 31: In a bid to increase the country's capacity for isolation facilities, the Railways is converting sleeper class coaches into isolation wards by modifying the coaches as per prototype issued by Railway Board to make them suitable to act as quarantine hubs. On South Western Railway (SWR) a total of 312 coaches will be converted for isolation/quarantine wards.
"The coaches will be equipped with basic facilities needed as per medical guidelines. Provision is being made for charging points of mobiles and laptops. Mosquito nets with space for paramedics etc are also being made available. Each coach will provide 8 berth cabin for isolation facility.
Zonal Railways have been advised to prepare coaches as per isolation cabin prototype to meet the needs of the patients by Railway Board," a press statement of SWR reads.
The efforts of Indian Railways have been aimed not only to supplement the present health infrastructure of the nation but also to contribute to national efforts to fight the coronavirus.
According to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the total number of coronavirus cases in the country stand at 1,251.

Media is giving half report. As this issue relates to bjp, hired media is not giving true figure of explosives + ammunitions seized. There is a report that scores of weapons and bags full of explosives are seized but media is showing only 10 percent of it. Even the inspectors are hiding the figure. However, we common man wants to know the fact. We want to know reason why bjp offices are turned into godown of ammunitiions, explosives, evm machines, ballot papers, voter id cards, adhaar cards etc etc. Why investigating agencies are shut their mouth.
If this news is true then why he not called terrorist.
What type of award central govt will give. For such offenders and to their god fathers a strict punishment must given. Don't spare , for pocessing arms and amuntion remember Sunjay Dut case. All must deported from Maharashtra to Andaman for ever.
Real face of BJP/RSS party
