The railways were in the process of equipping coaches with 800 beds for COVID-19 patients at the Shakur Basti railway station in Delhi, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Wednesday.

As many as 45 doctors and 160 paramedics of the paramilitary forces have arrived in Delhi for COVID-19 duties.
