Units that had broken down in Ballari started functioning
Karnataka on Tuesday managed to tide over the crisis caused by the disruption in oxygen supply owing to the breakdown in production units that resulted in over 20% lower supply. While the shortfall had caused anxiety among the hospital administrators, the supply of oxygen remained unhindered on Tuesday as buffer stock was used. The units that had broken down in Ballari started functioning by Tuesday evening and had already started supplies. “All the oxygen producing plants in JSW Steel premises are up and there is no problem in production,” Ballari Deputy Commissioner Pavan Kumar Malapati confirmed to The Hindu. The breakdown of oxygen generation plants, on JSW premises, in Ballari, led to short supply by 220 tonnes of oxygen of the about 850 tonnes supply from the State. Of the total 1,015 MT allocation, the State received 728 MT on Monday, resulting in a total shortfall of 286.64 MT.
