With Delhi facing a crippling shortage of life-saving oxygen, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said his government will import 18 cryogenic tankers from Thailand and 21 ready-to-use oxygen plants from France.
He said the scrambling for oxygen witnessed last week has been addressed and the situation has improved significantly in the past two days.
In the next month, the Delhi government will set up 44 oxygen plants at various hospitals, including 21 that will be imported from France. The Centre will install eight oxygen plants by April 30, Mr Kejriwal said during an online briefing.
