The BEST workers have been working tirelessly since Day 1 of the COVID-19 lockdown when even the city's lifeline -- local trains -- came to a standstill. The Undertaking started contributing to the city's battle against the deadly virus by plying buses to ferry essential services workers, and has now provided its premises to set up quarantine centres.

A 200-bed, fully air-conditioned COVID Care Centre has been erected at the Kandarpada depot and another one has been set up at Dahisar bus station, said a BEST official.
