Another consignment of containers for the transportation of medical oxygen has arrived in India from Thailand, the Union Home Ministry said on Tuesday. This is the third consignment of empty oxygen containers flown to the country in the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) transport aircraft by the Home Ministry amidst a surge in cases and a subsequent increase in demand for medical oxygen. “Some glimpses of airlift of oxygen containers from Bangkok by IAF last night. The airlift is being coordinated by MHA. It will enhance oxygen availability amid current surge,” a Home Ministry spokesperson said in a tweet, sharing pictures of the oxygen containers being loaded into an IAF aircraft.More Related News
