He further tweeted, “जितने बेड दिल्ली के लोगों के लिए चाहिए होंगे, उतने ही बेड दूसरे राज्यों से आने वाले लोगों के लिए चाहिए होंगे। ये बहुत बड़ी चुनौती है, लेकिन हम पूरी कोशिश करेंगें । हम होटल्स, स्टेडीयम्स को तैयार करवाएँगे। इसके लिए मैं ख़ुद ज़मीन पर उतरूँगा। हमारी नीयत, कोशिश में कमी नज़र नहीं आएगी |”
He also said that for everyone’s safety, promoting social distancing and usage of masks has to be a people’s movement just like the odd-even scheme.
