‘It became possible as the VSP is in the public sector’

Simhachalam has said that at a time when the COVID-19 crisis is creating havoc in the country, the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) is rendering yeomen service to the nation by sending 100 tonnes of medical oxygen to Maharashtra and other States.
