This development comes after the Delhi High Court, on Tuesday, 27 April, rapped the state government for allotting 100 rooms in 5-star hotels as COVID care centres for judges, taking a suo motu note and issuing a notice on Tuesday, 27 April. When people aren t getting beds, you are passing such orders? Is it to appease us? You can t create special facility like this. We never asked for it.
