The three mega vaccination camps will also have 16 oxygen supported beds, including four each at KD Singh stadium and Chota Imambara, while Ekana stadium will have eight oxygen supported beds to meet any emergency. Besides, arrangements have been made at civil hospital, KGMU and Medanta to admit any emergency case referred from the vaccination camps.

For urban areas, 20 buses have been allotted, including eight each for two stadiums and four for Imambara. Six buses each will be provided in rural areas.
Talking to TOI, district magistrate Abhishek Prakash said, "People traveling in buses will have to follow Covid protocol. Every passenger will have to wear masks and the bus will run at half capacity."
