Mumbai builder converts newly built luxury condo into COVID-19 hospital

Till now, 300 patients have been transferred to the building, with four patients to a flat. Their treatment is continuing within the building premises. Gopal Shetty, MP from Malad played an essential role in this move. The North Mumbai legislator said he got in touch with Mehul Sanghvi and convinced him to provide the building for the cause, in view of the rising number of cases in Malad.

"We're happy that people like Mehul Sanghvi have set aside personal interests, in a bid to serve the greater good during these difficult times. We hope that others come forward and collaborate for such gestures, helping us save as many lives as possible," he said.
