The five-member panel, headed by AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria, said the Delhi government had made the claims for allocation of 700 MT oxygen on April 30 of medical grade oxygen using a "wrong formula".
BJP's Sambit Patra said that due to Kejriwal's lies, oxygen supply was disrupted in other states as oxygen had to be cut off from all places and sent to Delhi. According to the committee constituted for Oxygen Audit, the demand for oxygen placed by the Delhi government between April 25 and May 10, was up to 4 times more than the actual requirement.
A Supreme Court panel has said that the Delhi government exaggerated the city's oxygen requirement by four times when Covid cases were at the peak.
The Supreme Court on Friday put its foot down stating that 700 metric tonnes of medical oxygen have to be supplied to Delhi daily to tide over the Covid-19 crisis.
Outside oxygen filling stations, family members of Covid patients can be seen waiting in long lines under the harsh sun for hours on end.
Eight people, including the HOD of the gastroenterology department, died in Delhi’s Batra hospital on Saturday due to shortage of oxygen. This is the second time the hospital facility ran out of oxygen supply in a span of a week.
Director of Delhi Government’s Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital, Dr. Suresh Kumar said on Saturday that all ICU beds in our hospital are full for the last 4-5 days. Some serious patients require 40–50 liters of oxygen per minute to maintain oxygen levels. Oxygen supply chains are also being affected.
