Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, "The Centre will have to accept that it was responsible for the oxygen crisis. People across the entire country bore the brunt of it."
New Delhi: Amid debate on oxygen-related deaths due to COVID-19, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Friday (August 20) that Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has once again rejected the proposal to form a committee to "investigate deaths due to oxygen shortage" in the national capital. Addressing an online press conference, Sisodia said that it cannot be denied that people died due to shortage of oxygen in Delhi. “No one can deny that Delhi grappled with an oxygen crisis in April and May during the second Covid wave and also no one can deny that people died in the capital due to shortage of oxygen,” the AAP leader said. “We had resubmitted a file for the constitution of a panel to probe deaths due to oxygen shortage. The LG (lieutenant governor) is saying that there is no need for that," PTI quoted Sisodia as saying.More Related News
