Aam Admi Party lawmaker Raghav Chadha said on Sunday that Delhi received just 499 metric tonnes of oxygen on May 8 against the average supply of 700 MT ordered by the Supreme Court.

He said on Saturday, only four healthcare facilities in the national capital, with 1,271 oxygen beds, sent out oxygen shortage SOS calls.

Over the last week, the city got an average of 533 MT oxygen daily, which is 76 percent of the quantity directed by the SC.

The Delhi government supplied 15.50 MT of oxygen to these hospitals.
