Braving adverse situations, they are working to help hospitals and patients out
Around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Thakur received a panic call from Batra Hospital saying their oxygen supply was going to end in two hours. The hospital apparently told him that they have been trying to manage cylinders for the last three days but were unable to arrange. With other senior officers in tow, he rushed to the hospital and spoke to the management, who were panicking because lives of more than 350 patients were in their hands. The first task was to identify where they could procure the oxygen from, as the hospital required liquid oxygen tankers. Teams then identified that one oxygen tanker was travelling to GTB Hospital. “But at that crucial point, the driver wasn’t picking the call. We had to trace him and almost intercept him,” he recalled. The team then went to GTB Hospital with the tanker before bringing it to the Batra Hospital.More Related News

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
