"Help...": Arvind Kejriwal's 2nd Oxygen SOS, This Time To Industrialists

On Saturday the Chief Minister, who has extended the lockdown in the national capital, sent a similar letter to his counterparts from across the country

Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday issued his second SOS in as many days, as Delhi battles a crippling oxygen shortage triggered by a devastating wave of Covid infections. The Chief Minister - who has also urged the centre to help - appealed to industrialists to "please do whatever you can to support us". The letter has reportedly been sent to the Tatas, the Birlas, the Ambanis, the Hindujas and the Mahendras, apart from a number of other prominent business families, all of whom have been asked for help in increasing the supply of medical oxygen to the national capital. "If you have oxygen and a tanker, then please help the Delhi government," he wrote. The Tatas have already said they will import 24 cryogenic containers to help transport oxygen from production sites to hospitals. Consumer giant ITC Ltd. made a similar promise on Saturday.
