Surge in hotel rates in Ahmedabad has forced fans to book hospital beds to stay in when they come for the India vs Pakistan World Cup match on October 15. As the countdown begins for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India and subsequently for the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15, hotel rates in the city have hit a record-high. Hence, as an alternative, fans travelling from other parts of the country and the world are now looking to stay in hospitals in Ahmedabad, which provide amenities such as breakfast and dinner. "Since it’s a hospital they are asking for full-body check-up and an overnight stay so both of their purposes are fulfilled – saving money on lodging and getting their health check-up done," Dr. Paras Shah, who works at a hospital in the city, told Ahmedabad Mirror. "These people are ready for any, from deluxe to suite room, whatever is offered to them. Since we have limited rooms, we are being judicious in taking such advance bookings from NRIs because our priority is patient care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Website: indiadeafnews.org Email id: [email protected]
