New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Saturday has taken note of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), which predicted the “COVID-19 tsunami” in mid of May, and said that there is a need to think about how to deal with it.
A Division Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rekha Palli noted that according to IIT, Delhi’s peak will come in mid-May and it will be like a “tsunami”.
The Delhi High Court on Saturday asked Delhi government to set up its own oxygen plant and said that a smooth and fully allocated supply of oxygen to Delhi can resolve many problems. A division bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rekha Palli was hearing a plea by Maharaja Agarsen Hospital in Delhi regarding a shortage of oxygen here. Senior Advocate Rahul Mehra, appearing for the Delhi government, said that out of allocated 480MT, Delhi is getting 350-380MT. Yesterday we received 295 MT. Instead of increasing, the MT gets reduced, Mehra told the court. This entire functioning will collapse in 24 hours if we do not put our house in order, he said.
