In a memorandum submitted to the Collector on Monday, party State secretariat member Ch. Narasinga Rao and city secretary B. Ganga Rao said that the number of oxygen beds should be increased by at least three times in view of the exponential rise in cases. They suggested that this can be done by increasing the beds at the hospitals of public sector units like Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), Visakhapatnam Port, Hindustan Shipyard Limited and BHEL.
