Another 200 metric tonnes will be ready shortly: Harish Rao
Health Minister T. Harish Rao said that the State was equipped with about 300 metric tonnes of oxygen and steps will be taken to produce another 200 metric tonnes at Pashamylaram in Sangareddy district shortly.
“During the second wave of the pandemic, Telangana required about 500 metric tonnes of oxygen and we were able to pool only 200 metric tonnes within the State while 300 metric tonnes were procured from Tamil Nadu and Goa. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has directed us to produce the required oxygen here itself and so far, we have been able to clock 300 metric tonnes production,” said Mr. Harish Rao after inaugurating an oxygen generation plant at Zaheerabad area hospital on Sunday.
The plant was established with the active support of Mahindra industries. After inaugurating the plant, the Minister visited all the wards at the hospital.
