Oxygen supply system in the State will be streamlined in three-four days as the Union government has agreed to increase allotment, Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar said on Sunday. He was speaking to officers in Belagavi. According him, the Centre will increase oxygen allotment to the State in line with the Supreme Court judgment. Apart from this, the oxygen produced in Ballari that was allotted to Maharashtra has been re-allotted to Karnataka. To a query, he said that he would talk to Ministers in Maharashtra about curbs on oxygen transportation from Kolhapur to Belagavi. This will address the scarcity to a great extent, he said.More Related News
