'Situation not good': COVID patients struggle to get beds at Patna hospital
As second wave of the coronavirus is testing the country, families and attendants of COVID-19 patients are struggling to get beds at Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) in Patna.
One of the doctors at the hospital said that the "situation is not good" as most of the patients arriving at the hospital are critical.
Dr Ajay Kumar Sinha said, "Situation is not good, we are receiving much more patients than we did the last time.
Most of the patients we get are critical and need oxygen support." Currently there are 20,148 active cases in the state.
Law Enforcement Hiring , Increased in 2023 , Following Years of Decline.

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows weβre
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring
