As Delhi Battles Oxygen Crisis, Centre Says Will Increase Supply: Sources
NDTV
Today - Day 2 of the oxygen crisis in Delhi - six more hospitals, with around 2,000 patients between them, have highlighted fast-depleting oxygen reserves
The centre on Wednesday increased supply of medical oxygen to Delhi, where several hospitals have frantically flagged a critical shortage amid a frightening wave of daily Covid cases. The national capital's oxygen quota has been increased from 378 metric tonnes per day to 500 metric tonnes, sources within the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) told NDTV on Wednesday evening. The additional oxygen supplies are to be diverted from Odisha, the sources added. The AAP, for whom Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendar Jain have repeatedly urging the centre to help, said they welcomed reports of increased oxygen supply but also struck a note of caution, saying that even the current demand of 378 MT was not being met.
