PATNA: Amid the acute oxygen availability crisis with people running from pillar to posts, 129 jumbo-sized cylinders are in the possession of Rohtas police possession for more than 24 hours due to pending legal formalities after they were seized from a black marketeer.
These oxygen cylinders could save precious lives. Besides the cylinders, police also recovered many regulators fitted with pressure gauges and flow metres for use in these cylinders.
The Rohtas police along with the district administration and a drug inspection team had conducted a raid at a shop named Vikash Traders located at Vaishnavi complex on Station Road under the Dehri police station area on Friday after receiving input about hoarding and black-marketing of oxygen cylinders.
