State announces special package with several incentives for new plants
Amid acute shortage of medical oxygen in hospitals, the Rajasthan government on Friday sought the allocation of 201 metric tonnes of oxygen from the Centre on an emergency basis. The State, which needs 466 MT oxygen for treatment of COVID-19 patients, has only 265 MT in its stock.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said here that there was a shortage of 201 MT oxygen in the State, which had been allocated just 1.60% of the oxygen, despite recording 5% of the total COVID-19 positive cases in the country. “Rajasthan will require a total of 550 MT oxygen within a week. We request the Centre to allocate 201 MT oxygen today as an emergency,” Mr. Gehlot tweeted.
