CM reviews COVID
Amaravati, May 13: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy held a review meeting on the prevailing COVID situation, oxygen supply, and vaccination, and directed the officials to set up an oxygen plant and take up the works on a war footing keeping the increasing requirements in view.
During the review meeting held at the camp office here on Thursday, the Chief Minister instructed the authorities to focus on setting up a dedicated oxygen plant with at least 300 MT capacity either in Krishnapatnam or Kadapa, as the current consumption has already exceeded 600 tonnes per day and to avoid oxygen shortages in near future. The officials have informed that the oxygen allocations from the Centre have increased to 590 tonnes from 360 tonnes, but the consumption has reached over 600 metric tonnes and to overcome the deficit, eight cryogenic storage tanks were sent to different districts.
