No Shortage Of Oxygen In Any Hospitals In Uttar Pradesh: Chief Minister

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the state government will conduct an audit of the life-saving gas in collaboration with various institutes.

Asserting that there is no shortage of oxygen in any private or public COVID-19 hospital in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said the state government will conduct an audit of the life-saving gas in collaboration with various institutes. Urging people not to let their guard down against coronavirus, he said it will be a huge mistake to take it as normal viral fever. Mr Adityanath was speaking during a virtual interaction with editors of different newspapers. "There is no shortage of oxygen in any COVID hospital, be it private or government. The problem is black marketing and hoarding, which will be tackled with a heavy hand. We are going to conduct an oxygen audit in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, IIM Lucknow and IIT BHU for proper monitoring of oxygen. The system of live tracking of oxygen demand, supply and distribution will be implemented," the chief minister said.
