Mumbai: The Bombay High Court bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni on Wednesday called the bluff by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) minutes after it told the judges that it had sufficient number of beds vacant for treating Covid patients. The high court made two counsels to call on the helpline number of the PMC only to learn that no beds were indeed available.
The PMC was left red-faced after its claim of over 2,000 beds being available turned out to be wrong.
