Mr. Arvind Kejriwal
CM, Delhi.
Subject: War Footing efforts required now, to treat #COVID19 positive cases in Delhi.
Dear Sir,
Please go through the #COVID19 treatment charges displayed at Max Hospital. We have got the snap-on WhatsApp. If these are the Actual charges, just think about the ordinary & common persons living in this city. How an ordinary person can pay such exorbitant charges to get the treatment of #COVID19?
May we again request you with the folded hands to please put a CAP on these charges on the NO PROFIT NO LOSS basis, so that it becomes affordable for all. It is a #Pandemic, & in our opinion, no one can be allowed to encash such a situation. No one can be allowed to mint money out of a Notified Disaster.
Moreover, the other facilities being arranged by you in various hotels such as 3 - 4 - 5 Star hotels, must also be CAPPED at Rs 3 - 4 - 5 thousand per day as at this crucial juncture, there are no travelers, no visitors, and all the hotels are vacant. The CAPPED charges as above will be more than sufficient to cover their costs.
Similarly, the ordinary hotels at Karol Bagh, Pahar Ganj areas must also be CAPPED at Rs 1 - 2 thousand per day. Similarly, all the schools, colleges, community centers, Banquet halls, stadiums can be offered to the masses as FREE BEDS or can be CAPPED at a maximum charge of Rs 500 per day.
As a result, all the classes of residents can be affordably accommodated at respective locations.
Moreover, you must also critically look after the facilities at Delhi Government hospitals. You, yourself have stated that with over 5.50 Lakh positive cases, we may require over 1,50,000 beds, by July end, as well as the suitable number of Ventilators, Oxygen concentrators as well as PPE kits, etc. The present stories related to LNJP hospital are horrible.
Please act on WAR FOOTING now with the support of one & all, else the situation will be out of control soon. Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee & other similar bodies, can be requested to arrange food for the Quarantine centers in Delhi.
All the Doctors practicing in Delhi can be requested to offer a FREE SERVICE of 2 - 3 hours a day, at various Quarantine centers, to support the cause. RWAs, MTAs, NGOs, can be asked to organize the schools & community centers of their respective areas.
Suitable training must be provided to all the concerned, to meet any critical situation as our only aim must be to save the precious lives of our residents.
Must also seriously consider the Lockdown in full or in part at least, to check the rapid increase of the coronavirus cases in Delhi. It has created a Panic all over the city.

Please look into it & must act wisely. We already have over 2,100 deaths out of the 30 - 35 thousand positive cases so far. In case we reach 5.50 Lakh positive cases by July End, & move forward towards a PEAK by the 15th August, we may have to face a large number of casualties as the medical facilities, in any case, will remain inadequate. We must try to avoid any such situation in the National Capital.
Assuring the best of Co-operation & Attention.
With best regards,
