The pact was signed today by FNCCI President Shekhar Golchha and Ward Chairperson Navin Manadhar. Senior Vice-president of FNCCI Chandra Prasad Dhakal was also present during the signing ceremony.
As per a statement released by FNCCI, the isolation centre will come into operation from Sunday and will have 50 beds initially. The number of beds will gradually be increased to 100, FNCCI said.
