AHMEDABAD: Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on Sunday said that supply of liquid oxygen to industries will be temporarily halted. The decision has been taken in collaboration with Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) to ensure adequate supply of oxygen to private hospitals. As part of the collaboration, the civic authorities have temporarily put a halt on supply of industrial oxygen.
“This will help us divert some 1,500 oxygen cylinders meant for industrial usage for medical usage. With this, vendors who supply oxygen cylinders to private hospitals will get 1,000 more cylinders,” according to a statement issued by the civic body.
The move will help fulfil oxygen needs for some 800 patients. Several private hospitals continue to reel under shortage of oxygen to meet growing requirements from patients. In a bid to ensure adequate oxygen supply a central control room has been set up at the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (SRFDCL)
