There will also be delay in the ongoing tender processes for annual drug procurement, dialysis and 108 ambulances, officials said.

In a press release, Commissioner, Health and Family Welfare Services, D. Randeep said that all related services are mostly free, and since health is an emergency service, health schemes will not be affected and work will continue as it is. Only work regarding tender processes could see procedural delays, he added.
