The government will issue licence as soon as possible to industries that have the capacity to produce medical oxygen but do not have the licence, says Minister Sunder Sham Arora.
To ensure adequate supply of oxygen as the COVID-19 cases continue to rise, the Punjab government has directed officials of the Industries and Commerce Department to identify closed oxygen generating units and explore possibilities of production. Industries and Commerce Minister Sunder Sham Arora said the government was working to ensure uninterrupted medical supplies, especially medical oxygen and vaccines. “I have already instructed the authorities to identify the industries that have the capacity to produce medical oxygen but don’t have the licence to produce. The government will act swiftly and issue the licence as soon as possible. The supply of oxygen to industries was stopped and now 98% oxygen is going towards the medical requirements,” he said.
