Jaipur: To prepare the government hospitals for the third wave of Covid, 105 oxygen generation plants will be set up in 59 cities of Rajasthan in the next two months. The government has issued work orders for these plants. Besides this, private hospitals with 60-bed capacity have also been directed to establish their oxygen plant.
Rajasthan is facing an acute shortage of oxygen this time as more than 2.08 lakh active cases are there in the state. The Central government has allotted a quota of 435 MT to Rajasthan, where the demand is more than 600 MT. 100 MT of the allotted quota has to be lifted from Burnpur in West Bengal and Kalinganagar in Odisha. Both the cities are more than 1000 km away from Rajasthan and it takes around 3-4 days for a tanker to reach there and return.

The Rajasthan Government has accused the Centre of providing defective ventilators to the state. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has demanded that the Union Health Ministry thoroughly investigate the purchase of defective ventilators made available through the PM CARES Fund. The Centre had made 1,900 ventilators available to the state from the PM Cares Fund. It was responsible for the installation and maintenance of these ventilators. According to doctors, many of these ventilators have technical shortcomings due to which using them can prove to be dangerous for patients, Gehlot said in a statement.
