Amid acute shortage of medical
oxygen due to a surge in coronavirus cases, vehicles and individuals are queuing up outside the BHEL s plant here to get the empty cylinders refilled with the life-saving gas. Due to the rising demand, the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited s Bhopal unit has been functioning round-the-clock to provide oxygen to citizens, an official said. According to eyewitnesses, people are queuing up in large numbers to get the oxygen cylinders refilled. The queue of people and hospital representatives with cylinders is so long that they have to wait for 6-7 hours for their turn to come, one of the eyewitnesses said.
