New Delhi: State-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has started free supply of 150 metric ton of oxygen to hospitals in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab, the country’s largest refiner said in a statement on Monday.
This comes in the backdrop of the union government prohibiting the supply of oxygen for industrial purposes by manufacturers and suppliers from 22 April in the wake of a surge in its demand for covid-19 patients in hospitals.
“The first batch of the lifesaver medical grade Oxygen was dispatched today to Maha Durga Charitable Trust Hospital, New Delhi. Delhi is already facing an oxygen emergency situation,” IOC said in a statement.
