Speaker M. Appavu inaugurated the medical-grade oxygen generator in the Koodankulam Government Hospital, which is catering to the needs of people from more than 20 villages, on Tuesday. This is the first oxygen generator installed with the capacity of producing 500 litres a minute in the government hospitals in southern Tamil Nadu and has been sponsored by Larsen and Toubro India. Since L & T is involved in building Kudnakulam Nuclear Power Project’s reactors from 3 to 6, the construction major came forward to install the oxygen generator imported from Turkey and installed on an outlay of ₹1.50 crore. The oxygen generator will supply the life-saving gas to the 120 beds in the government hospital.
