A day after the Delhi High Court rapped Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for not responding to requests by students and teachers to set up a COVID Care Centre and oxygen production facility on the campus, the JNU administration called for a meeting to work out the formalities and protocols for creating the facility on the campus. The university was directed by the court to email reports explaining the feasibility, modalities and timeline for setting up of a COVID Care Centre, preferably with oxygenated beds, by 9 a.m. on May 13, the next date of hearing. Members of the JNU Teachers’ Association that attended the meeting said the JNU administration continued to be reluctant to the move as they did not have doctors and nurses to manage the facility.More Related News
