Nodal officers not responding to calls, they complain
City hospitals on Saturday continued to raise alarms about low levels of oxygen and some even stopped admissions of new patients.
Hospitals have been facing an oxygen shortage for at least the past seven days. Many hospitals also complained that contact numbers of nodal officers given by the Delhi government for oxygen supply was not responding to their calls.
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital raised an alarm at 11 p.m. on Saturday that the hospital had oxygen for only 45 minutes and sought help from the government. It said that they were in touch with nodal officers but no help has come yet. Finally, an oxygen tanker reached the hospital around 12.20 a.m. There were 130 people in ICU of the hospital and a total of over 500 COVID-19 patients.
