As India prepares for a long battle against&nbsp;COVID-19, the Railway Ministry plans to convert trains lying idle due to the lockdown, into isolation wards for rural and remote areas, along with manufacturing of ventilators in railway factories.
The Rail Coach Factory&nbsp;in Kapurthala has been tasked with the duty of converting&nbsp;coaches into isolation wards, while the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, is attempting to manufacture ventilators.
RCF Kapurthala will be initially making a prototype by converting an existing&nbsp;coach into an isolation ward. This will be a non-AC coach because it would be difficult to sanitise air for a communicable disease in case of an AC coach. The layout is being prepared and a decision will be taken as to how many patients can be accommodated in a coach, keeping in mind&nbsp; factors like&nbsp;distance, hygiene, and most importantly, exclusive bathroom usage.
However, officials say, manufacturing of ventilators is turning out to be a challenge.&nbsp;India lacks an official figure on the number of ventilators it has. Rough estimates peg it at around 40,000.&nbsp;
