The Indian Air Force is helping in airlifting cryogenic oxygen containers from different parts of the country to the states in need.
The Indian Railways is running an ‘Oxygen Express’ to deliver oxygen to states like Maharashtra. The first run for the "Oxygen Express" was on Thursday from Visakhapatnam to Maharashtra. The cylinders were being transported from the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (RINL) facility.
As the oxygen crisis worsens in the country, it is important to ensure the tankers don’t fall in wrong hands. To ensure the same, tankers going by road are being escorted by the police. Tankers leaving from Angul in Odisha were escorted by the police till Visakhapatnam. “Two more tankers with medical oxygen on way from Jajpur for Visakhapatnam, Andhra and one for Pune, Maharashtra. A dedicated corridor is being provided under Odisha Police escort,” wrote Odisha Police on Twitter.
