New Delhi: The Centre has failed to honour the Supreme Court s directive to resolve the oxygen crisis in the national capital by midnight of May 3.
It was the Delhi High Courtâs turn on Tuesday to direct the Centre to show cause as to why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against it for failing to comply with the SC order on supply of 700 metric tonnes of Oxygen.
The Bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Patil rejected the Centre s plea that Delhi was not entitled to 700 MT of oxygen in view of the existing medical infrastructure.

NEW DELHI â With Indian hospitals struggling to secure a steady supply of oxygen, and more COVID-19 patients dying amid the shortages, a court in New Delhi said it would start punishing government officials for failing to deliver the life-saving items.
On May 2, India recorded a slight drop in new infections with 392,488 from a high of 401,993 in the previous 24 hours. It also reported 3,689 additional deaths, bringing the total to 215,542. Experts believe both figures are an undercount.
The government has been using the railroad, the air force and the navy to rush oxygen tankers to worst-hit areas where overwhelmed hospitals are unable to cope with an unprecedented surge in patients gasping for air.
