Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday said that the supply of oxygen to the national capital has been slipping once again in the last two days, with only 487 metric tonnes received on May 7.
In a press conference on Saturday, Sisodia said that May 5 was the first time that Delhi had received more than 700 MT of oxygen — it had received 730 MT of oxygen on that day — but the supply has been slipping after that once again.
On Friday, a Supreme Court bench headed by Justice D Y Chandrachud had, taking note of a submission of deficient supply of oxygen by the Delhi government, directed the Centre to supply 700 MT of medical oxygen to Delhi everyday till further orders and had warned that it will pass orders against officials if this is not done.
