Twin COVID testing centres in Srinagar san car parking, patients suffer

Srinagar, Jan 31: Absence of car parking at twin Covid-19 testing centres in Srinagar has come under severe criticism with the patients, alleging it to be a reason for immense hardships.
The government has established a Covid-19 testing centre at TRC where a huge rush of people visit on a regular basis to undergo Covid tests.
However, the patients at the Covid testing centre at TRC and Gousia hospital here have expressed resentment against the authorities for failing to make proper arrangements for the people visiting these places.
“There has been no car parking at both the paces. One fails to understand where the people visiting these places are supposed to park their vehicles,” the commuters said, adding that the absence of parking slots and subsequent action by the officials is pushing the local people to the wall.
Nazir Ahmad, who visited both the places today to undergo Covid test, said that the commuters have been illegally parking their vehicles outside Gousia hospital and TRC Covid testing centre, which not hampers the traffic movement, but also leads to the fine as well.
“In the both the cases, the people are being forced to face hardships,” the visitors said, appealing to the concerned authorities to ensure that the people visiting the centres are provided parking slots so that they could heave a sigh of relief.
Pertinently, following the spurt in daily Covid cases across Jammu and Kashmir, the testing capacity has been increased in Srinagar and elsewhere due to which the Covid testing centres are witnessing huge rush on regular basis.
