UP-Haryana jungle raj hampering O2 supply: Delhi

April 22, 2021 14:54

Delhi Dy CM Manish Sisodia on the oxygen crisis: "Many hospitals in Delhi are facing a Oxygen crisis right now. Oxygen is completely exhausted in some, I've been receiving messages and emails from hospitals since morning. We're somehow providing them cylinders by rearranging from other hospitals that have slightly more stock.

"When Central govt increased the allocation of Delhi and fixed the same for other states too yesterday, then why are governments of Haryana and UP behaving as if they have some dispute with Delhi? It's not the time to fight with each other but to be united.

"Major reason behind Delhi's Oxygen crisis is 'jungle raj' for Oxygen by Haryana-UP. Their govts, officers and Police aren't letting supply from their Oxygen plants come to Delhi. Our officers spoke to theirs, I tried to speak to GoI but things aren't changing on ground."

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted to say he had spoken to CM of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar and sought his support in facilitating the transport of oxygen trucks from Haryana to Delhi. He has assured full support.
