Capital received 730 MT of oxygen against similar requirement, says CM
There was a glimmer of hope on Thursday that the oxygen crisis in the city would soon end as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal shared that the Capital had received 730 metric tonnes (MT) of oxygen from the Central government on Wednesday against the 700 MT required daily. Mr. Kejriwal thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central government, the Supreme Court and the High Court for their effort to ensure that the Capital received oxygen as per the demand for the first time since the oxygen crisis started and hoped it was not a one-off instance. The Chief Minister said that if the Capital gets an adequate supply of 700 MT oxygen, it will be able to set up a COVID Care Centre with 9,000-9,500 beds and assured citizens that the Delhi government will not let anyone die due to shortage of oxygen.
