This was done soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed officials at a meeting on oxygen availability that supply must be ensured in a “smooth, unhindered manner”. He said that it was important to “fix responsibility with the local administration in cases of obstruction”. The PM also stressed that the states should come down heavily on hoarding.
