The Delhi government on Monday sought new human resources in order to manage its worsening Covid-19 crisis. With the burden of active cases increasing, the Arvind Kejriwal government has written a letter to Minister of Defence Rajnath Singh.

In the letter, the Health Minister of Delhi urged Rajnath Singh to deploy Army in for rapid assistance. This comes at a time when Delhi is ramping up its healthcare infrastructure in the coming days.
