Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) on Thursday to take stock of the coronavirus situation at the university, where at least 35 serving and retired faculty members have died due to COVID-19 or COVID-like symptoms in the recent weeks.
Expressing grief over the deaths at Aligarh Muslim University's Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, he said he hoped that the vaccination drive on the campus would pick up soon and help in improving the situation.
On his first visit to AMU since he assumed office in 2017, the chief minister also said that the supply of oxygen to the university's medical college is being augmented. The university hospital, however, hasn't reported any deaths due to the shortage of oxygen. Several senior faculty members, retired professors and non-teaching staff have succumbed to COVID-19 or COVID-like symptoms over the past three weeks.
