Staff at Chamarajanagar district hospital say all patients died when the facility ran out of oxygen. District authorities say too early to reach that conclusion.
After meetings with PM Modi, govt noted that gaseous oxygen produced in many industries can be tapped for medical use and a pilot for five such facilities has been initiated.
A hospital official said they don't have a liquid oxygen storage tank and depend on oxygen cylinders from a private vendor. The children's hospital needs 125 oxygen cylinders a day.
There are only a finite number of oxygen tankers and cylinders. So the logistics of refiling them and bringing them to the destination is a severe bottle-neck.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
