New Delhi/UNI: The PM CARES Fund Trust will allocate Rs 41.62 crore for establishment of two 250-bedded makeshift COVID-19 hospitals by DRDO at Murshidabad and Kalyani, West Bengal, a statement from the Prime Minister office said here on Wednesday.

For this, certain infrastructural support would also be provided by the State Government and Union Health Ministry, it added.
