Some States Hampering Oxygen Supply To Madhya Pradesh: Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan told a meeting that efforts were being made on a war footing to ensure adequate oxygen supply for COVID-19 patients in the state.

Police officers in some states were blocking the movement of tankers bringing medical-grade oxygen to Madhya Pradesh for coronavirus patients, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan alleged on Monday. Mr Chouhan, however, did not name any state. There is an adverse situation due to coronavirus infection. It is a time of crisis. Oxygen is life saver. "In such a situation, police officers of some states are stopping the (MP-bound) oxygen tankers, which is unfair and also a crime, Mr Chouhan said in a tweet.
