Lands identified for the plants in Dharapuram and Uthukuli
To boost the availability of oxygen to hospitals in Tiruppur amid a raging second wave of COVID-19, the district administration will establish two plants -- one at Dharapuram and the other at Uthukuli. Administration sources said lands had been identified for the purpose. The plants will be established under an initiative of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in association with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The DRDO announced in April that it would set up 500 medical oxygen plants across the country under the PM CARES (Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations) Fund within three months. Confirming the development, District Collector K. Vijayakarthikeyan said on Saturday that the land inspection was completed. “The work is expected to commence by next week,” he said.
