Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday wrote to leading
industrialists of the country, seeking their help in combating the
second wave of Covid-19.
Kejriwal said that he would be grateful
if the industrialists, involved in using or producing oxygen and can
help with transporting oxygen in cryogenic tankers, come to Delhi's
assistance in its time of need.
He wrote that due to an
unprecedented rise in the number of Covid cases in Delhi, it was falling
woefully short of our oxygen requirements and asked for this request to
be treated as an SOS.
Kejriwal wrote that Delhi did not produce any oxygen, and currently faces an acute shortage of oxygen.
He
wrote that while the Central Government is helping Delhi in this
regard, the intensity of the spread is so severe that the quantity is
proving inadequate.
In the letter, Kejriwal wrote, "As you are
aware there is a severe shortage of oxygen in Delhi. Delhi does not
produce any oxygen. Due to an unprecedented rise in Covid cases in the
last few days, many Delhi hospitals have run out of oxygen. Daily
supplies of oxygen to Delhi are woefully short of our requirements.
He
further wrote, "I understand that your organisation either uses,
produces or can come in possession of oxygen. I would be grateful if you
could provide us any stocks of oxygen, along with cryogenic tankers for
its movement. We would also welcome any help in import of cryogenic
oxygen tankers from any other country. Kindly treat this as an SOS. I
would be personally grateful for your support."
On Saturday, Kejriwal wrote to Chief Ministers of all states requesting them for oxygen if they have spare.
"I
would be grateful if the chief ministers could provide Delhi with any
oxygen, along with tankers, from their state or any organization in
their state," Kejriwal had requested the Chief Ministers.
