At the same time, 10 tons of oxygen was supplied to LNJP Hospital. Oxygen tankers arrived at Delhi hospitals late on Tuesday night after the city reported it had only hours of oxygen supply left.
An official at the Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital also confirmed that a truck carrying oxygen from a firm reached them around 1:30 AM.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Anil Baijal will hold a meeting at 11 AM today to discuss the issue of oxygen cylinders, rising COVID cases and deaths.
On the other side, Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia tweeted, “Most hospitals in Delhi have only eight to 12 hours of oxygen left. We have been asking the Centre to increase its supply for the last seven days. There will be chaos in Delhi if hospitals do not get enough oxygen by Wednesday morning,”
दिल्ली में अधिकतर अस्पतालों में केवल अगले 8 से 12 घंटे के लिए ही ऑक्सिजन उपलब्ध है.
हम एक हफ़्ते से दिल्ली को ऑक्सिजन सप्लाई कोटा बढ़ाने की माँग कर रहे हैं जोकि केंद्र सरकार को करना है . अगर कल सुबह तक पर्याप्त मात्रा में अस्पतालों में ऑक्सिजन नहीं पहुँची तो हाहाकार मच जाएगा. pic.twitter.com/omO7RCTaCj
