The site readiness of these hospitals was delayed by the Delhi government despite weekly reviews with them since November 2020, they claimed. 

For Ambedkar Nagar Hospital, Dakshinpuri, the site was prepared by as late as April 19 by the Delhi government, they alleged. 

Site readiness certificate of Satyawadi Raja Harishchandra Hospital at Narela has not yet been submitted by the Delhi government, they said.
