Suresh Kumar wants more oxygenated beds and other medical facilities on an urgent basis
Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S. Suresh Kumar has sought a higher allocation of oxygen and additional cylinders for stocking oxygen to meet the requirements of Chamarajanagar district. Mr .Suresh Kumar said he had already requested Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to increase the district’s daily allocation of oxygen from4.5 kilolitres to 7.15 kilolitres. The COVID-19 patients in the district were dependent on the Chamarajanagar district hospital for their treatment and the absence of oxygen supplying centres in the district had increased the medical challenges. The complexity of oxygen shortage was compounded by the non-availability of oxygen from Mysuru, according to a statement issued by the Minister’s office.
