RAJKOT: The crippling shortage and frustrating wait for oxygen has started causing law and order problems.
On Tuesday, rioting broke out between two groups in Moti Chirai village of Kutch’s Bhachau taluka with gun shots being fired in the air and vehicles vandalized.
A fight and altercation over standing in the queue during re-filling of oxygen cylinders snowballed into riots in the premises of Agrawal & Company.
A verbal duel broke out between Rajbha and Ramdevsinh who were standing in the queue. Police said that as the matter escalated Rajbha fired from his pistol on the ground. When the police constable present at the location tried to pacify both the groups, Rajbha fired two more rounds on the ground, triggering panic among people standing in the queue.
