Addressing an event in poll-bound Uttarakhand, Modi said Centre has been extending all help to the state govt and said this 'double engine' of development will take it to new heights.
According to the health officials, around 160 PSA oxygen generation plants with a total capacity of 148.11 metric tonnes are being installed at govt & private hospitals in Delhi.
Launched on 1 May, Modi government's digital system conducts real-time tracking of oxygen tankers while they are in transit, from plants to states and then on to districts.
On 8 May, a lone oxygen plant that supplied 500 cylinders each to Bihar’s East and West Champaran broke down. What followed was a 10-hour operation that led to a ‘miraculous recovery’.
Delhi High Court said big hospitals with 100-beds or more should have their own PSA plants with a capacity of at least two times their normal requirement.
In a letter to PM Modi, Banerjee said that West Bengal was scheduled to get 70 PSA plants, but now it has been intimated that four such units would be set up in the first phase.
The company said it anticipated a 'minor technical fluctuation' since the plant remained unattended for three years. A technical expert group has been onsite to monitor the situation.
To mitigate the ban on use of industrial oxygen, the approval process for global manufacturers has been made completely virtual, cutting down the time from six weeks to a few days.
