The meeting will be held at 11 am tomorrow, in which all the Delhi based political parties, including BJP, Congress, BSP, and AAP, have been called to give their suggestions for COVID management in the national capital.

DPCC Chief further stated, "Congress is continuously giving positive suggestions to tackle the COVID crisis not just in Delhi, but all over India. We had also attended the meeting called by Delhi's Lieutenant Governor, recently. I'm happy that he took our suggestions and ordered to put LCDs outside the hospitals."

The Congress leader also slammed the Delhi Government for not taking appropriate steps to contain the virus.

"Unfortunately, the state government did not take this initiative earlier," said Anil Choudhary.

Delhi has recorded a total of 38,958 COVID cases out of which 22,742 are active in the city, so far.

Earlier today, the Union Home Minister also had a meeting with Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to discuss the current situation of capital.
