The first "Oxygen Express" train arrived in Maharashtra's Nagpur on Friday evening with seven tankers carrying the life-saving liquid oxygen as the deadly wave of the COVID-19 pandemic batters the state. Three of the seven tankers have been unloaded at Nagpur Junction railway station, news agency ANI reported. Each tanker is carrying 15 tonnes of liquid medical oxygen. The train carrying the large oxygen tankers pulled out from a facility run by Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL) in Visakhapatnam on Thursday evening. The railways will run the "Oxygen Express" train from steel plants that produce oxygen to different parts of the country to meet the demand.
