Time govt. took control of oxygen cylinders: Bombay HC at Goa
The Hindu
‘Distribute them equitably, these are desperate times’
The Bombay High Court at Goa on Wednesday said, “Whatever cylinders are available, it is time the government takes control of them and distributes them equitably. These are desperate times.” A Division Bench of Justices M.S. Sonak and N.W. Sambre was hearing a public interest litigation filed by the South Goa Advocates’ Association, seeking direction from the court on COVID-19 management in Goa.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
