NOIDA/GREATER NOIDA: Extending the oxygen facility for home-isolation patients further, industrial development authorities in Noida and Greater Noida said on Tuesday that people staying in urban villages as well in colonies and apartment buildings that are yet to get registered, will also be given cylinders now on.
After checking the required documents including the doctor’s prescription, oxygen saturation level report, Aadhaar card and the Covid-19 report of patients, both the Noida Authority and the Greater Noida Authority will offer oxygen cylinders to their kin. The authorities will, however, take security fees amounting to Rs 2,500 and Rs 200 towards gas charges for the use of a cylinder for a week.
Greater Noida: On the lines of Noida Authority, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is going to initiate a drive to provide oxygen for those in home isolation. Officials in the authority have started reaching out to residents of apartment complexes in Noida Extension area, however, the residential colonies and blocks having row houses are yet to be covered.
GNIDA chief executive officer (CEO) Narendra Bhooshan, who is also the nodal officer for Covid-19 management in Gautam Budh Nagar district, said: “Supply of oxygen to hospitals treating Covi-19 patients is our priority in the present scenario. At the same time, a team of officials has been asked to assess the demand of those in home isolation in Greater Noida. We will try to work out a proper arrangement for the residents recovering at home as well.”
