The BC Roy Institute of Medical
Registrar Prof Bhrigu Nath Singh said, "We were ready with the structural construction though the handover from the construction company was not taken due to some LAN, integration of modular OTs and few service lifts related works which are going on and expected to be completed shortly after lockdown period is over."
Director Prof Virendra Kumar Tewari said, "We had received a request from the office of the district magistrate about three weeks back and agreed. We are in contact with district administration and the local community and ready to offer all necessary help within our capacity."

Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Kharagpur, Vaibhav Chaudhary said, "About 300 people were stuck at the inter- state border after the lockdown was implemented as they could not travel further into the state without being tested for COVID-19. While we could test 50 samples on a day, we needed a facility to accommodate the others."
