Out of them about 155 are on oxygen," Dr. Milind Shiralkar, the dean of the medical college hospital, told NDTV. District collector Satyendra Singh said that "no deaths" took place due to lack of oxygen or low pressure in the oxygen tank. "A back up with jumbo cylinder always available in medical college, medical college  continued supply with jumbo cylinders," he said.
