District administration intervenes
The Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) here on Thursday briefly grappled with a shortage of liquid oxygen after the supply from a plant in Bhiwadi was delayed for several hours. However, the district administration intervened to make alternate arrangement and thwarted a crisis. In a situation akin to Delhi hospitals over the past few days, FMRI too, was downed to just 45 minutes of liquid oxygen supply, forcing the hospital authorities to put out a series of distress messages on Twitter seeking immediate intervention of the State and Central government. Tagging Home Minister Amit Shah and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal among others, the hospital authorities in a tweet said: “Fortis Hospital in has only 45 minutes of oxygen left. Requesting , , and to act immediately and help us to save patients’ lives [sic]”. Another tweet said it was an “ call from Fortis to allow oxygen tanker from Bhiwadi to reach our hospital .More Related News
