State Congress leader says 10 plants were to be built by Central Medical Services Store
After row over supply of vaccines and key drug Remdesivir, Maharashtra and the Central government have now locked horns over allotment of money to construct oxygen plants in the State. Congress, a coalition partner in Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, on Monday said the Central government-affiliated Central Medical Services Society (CMSS) that was to set up 10 Pressure Swing Absorption plants in the State according to the January 2021 announcement. “It was a Central government scheme and not a single rupee was given to the State government. The Centre was going to construct those plants. Even though 10 districts had been chosen, the Central government did not move ahead even with the tender process,” said Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe.More Related News
