Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed that Assam is the only state in India which has been providing Oxygen to other neighbouring states of the Northeast region.
Assam's fight against COVID-19 is unparalleled with any other state, state chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed today. On the last day of the three-day state assembly session, Mr Sarma said: "No state can compare with Assam in fight against the second wave of Covid. We are working in tandem to control Covid in Assam. In terms of recovery rate, mortality rate and disease burden rate... After one month, Assam will be the first or second state in India (in controlling the spread of coronavirus)." His statement comes just a week after he had said that the impact of the second wave of COVID-19 has been "extremely severe" in Assam for which medical infrastructure needs to be strengthened. However, the chief minister today claimed that Assam is the only state in India which has been providing Oxygen to other neighbouring states of the Northeast region. "Till now, we have provided Oxygen supplies to Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Manipur and Tripura. We have adequate supplies of Oxygen in Assam and we are a proud state that in this crisis time, we can help other states by supplying Oxygen."
