"We have made modular 'Mohalla Clinic' in a shipping container. The idea is to reduce the time as the construction of clinics takes 3-5 months while this is made in a factory. It is stronger as well as portable", he stated.
Jain further added that the Delhi government has made two such clinics for trial purposes. (ANI)
