In pursuance to the order of the bench, the Delhi government had directed hospitals and nursing homes to send details of patients whose death occurred due to shortage of oxygen.
The plea claimed there has been an overwhelming number of deaths in the country, especially in NCR, and cremation and burial taking a substantial amount of time.

Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
