health ministry further wrote that it provided the ventilators because of the urgency for management of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It added, "Non-commissioning of the same defeats the very purpose of this exercise by the Government of India".The ministry urged the Punjab government to install and operationalise the ventilators as soon as possible and said "If there is any additional requirement of ventilators, the same may be intimated to the Ministry of Health within next one week".Meanwhile, Kultar Singh Sandhwan, AAP MLA from Kotkapura has also alleged that ventilators supplied under PM Cares Fund are lying unused in Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot.
