The Indian Air Force (IAF) has transported four cryogenic oxygen containers from Singapore amid an acute oxygen shortage in India. The nation has been witnessing a sharp rise in Covid-19 infections, leading to a shortage of oxygen supply across several states.
“One C-17 of Indian Air Force got airborne at 2 am on April 24 from Hindan Air Base for Changi International Airport, Singapore. The aircraft arrived in Singapore at 7:45 am,” the Indian Air Force said.
“After loading 4 containers of cryogenic oxygen tanks, it will leave for Singapore and will then land at Panagarh air base. These containers will then be offloaded by this evening,” the Air Force said.
