Chief Minister Amarinder Singh composed to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Wednesday, trying an everyday allocation of 120 metric tonnes (MT) of oxygen to get Punjab to guarantee an uninterrupted source for its country fighting a spike in COVID-19 deaths and cases . )

In his own correspondence, Singh reported the daily ingestion of medical oxygen at their country is approximately 105-110 MT. based on projections, this increase to 150-170 MT at the subsequent fourteen days as hospital admissions increase as a result of the rising instance count.

Punjab’s accumulative COVID-19 tally jumped to 3,09,316 on Tuesday using 4,673 brand new cases as the death toll increased to 8,045 since 6-1 more people flocked to this disorder, in accordance with a medical compilation.

Singh encouraged Vardhan to desperately consider his petition to get a uninterrupted source of liquid oxygen (LMO) to Punjab to daily basis.

He asked that the everyday allocation to Punjab be retained at the least in 120 MT excluding the Declaration (2-2 MT) being supplied into the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh.

The ministry said the convenience of storage of clinical oxygen from their country is currently approximately 300 MT whilst the daily ingestion in line with this existing caseload is approximately 105-110 MT.

Based on projections, this could further increase to approximately 150-170 MT at the subsequent fourteen days as hospital admissions could increase as a result of this mounting caseloadthat he included.

The Central Control Group on Oxygen had allocated 126 MT of clinical oxygen into Punjab on April 1-5. Nevertheless, the feasibility has been then reduced to 82 MT in April 25,” Singh said, adding this would be”grossly insufficient” to match with the requirement from their country.

Further, the fundamental allocation control-room has clubbed the feasibility of Punjab with this of their union territory of Chandigarh (2-2 MT), that further lessens their country’s feasibility,” he also stated.

The country’s requirement is now fulfilled by manufacturing companies, re-fillers, along with Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) plants in certain districts, both at the private and government industry, he added.

Singh remarked there isn’t any LMO plant in Punjab and revealed his request urgent steps be used to install the 2 PSA plants accepted by the Centre fourteen weeks past to federal medical schools and hospitals (GMCHs) at Patiala and Amritsar.
