Facing a severe shortage of medical oxygen, the Delhi government has requested the Railways to operate Oxygen Express trains to save COVID-19 patients gasping for breath in the city s hospitals, Railway Board Chairman Suneet Arora said on Friday. After Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, the Andhra Pradesh and the Delhi governments too have lined up for Oxygen Express services, he said. Each tanker of the Oxygen Express trains can carry around 16 tonnes of medical oxygen, Arora said, adding these trains travel at a speed of around 65 kmph. We have received a request from Delhi just now, and we are still planning its movement. We will likely get the oxygen from Rourkela, the Railway Board chairman said.
