Through a survey, the Centre has claimed that Delhi is getting an excess supply of oxygen, and that it is using it "inefficiently" and "possibly diverting the supply to black market".
New Delhi [India], May 8 (ANI): The Delhi government on Saturday informed that the national capital had received 488 MT of oxygen on May 7 despite the Supreme Court direction to the Centre to supply 700 metric tonnes of medical oxygen to Delhi everyday as hospitals in the national capital have been struggling to tackle an unprecedented rise in Covid-19 cases.
The court was informed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, that a survey was conducted in 56 major hospitals of the national capital on May 4.
