Punjab CM Amarinder Singh urges Centre to ensure uninterrupted oxygen supply
New Delhi,UPDATED: Apr 21, 2021 20:19 IST
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday wrote to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, urging him to allocate at least 120 metric tonnes (MT) of oxygen daily for the state and ensuring its uninterrupted supply.
In his letter, Amarinder Singh said the daily consumption of medical oxygen in the state is around 105-110 MT. "According to projections, this will increase to 150-170 MT in the next two weeks as hospital admissions will increase due to the rising case count," he said.
Urging Harsh Vardhan to urgently consider his request for an uninterrupted supply of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) on a daily basis, the chief minister asked for daily allocation to Punjab be kept at least at 120 MT excluding the quota (22 MT) being supplied to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh.
The Central Control Group on Oxygen had allocated 126 MT of medical oxygen to Punjab on April 15. However, the allocation was subsequently reduced to 82 MT from April 25, Singh said, adding that this would be 'grossly insufficient' to meet the demand in the state.
