The fate of the four jumbo COVID centres, which were supposed be closed and dismantled in February, still hangs in balance with civic officials saying they will remain operational till April-end. 

After the third wave receded, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had decided to dismantle four of its jumbo centres—Richardson and Cruddas (Mulund); Dahisar Jumbo Centre; Crompton and Greaves (Kanjurmarg); and NESCO (Goregaon)—in February, but the centres continue to remain operational even with 8,200 beds lying vacant since February 25.
