Updated: Share Article AAA Leaders of the opposition parties including the Congress, the TDP and the Left Parties on Sunday demanded that the Centre supply adequate stocks of vaccines to people of all age groups free of cost. At a virtual meeting coordinated by APCC president S. Sailajanath, the leaders said if the Centre failed to do so, the State government should allocate ₹2,000 crore for purchase of the vaccines and if the need arose, it should not hesitate to import the stocks from foreign countries. Alleging that shortage of medical oxygen was resulting in deaths of COVID-19 patients in the State, they demanded that the government hold talks with the representatives of the companies concerned on ramping up oxygen production. They said the oxygen produced in the State should first be utilised for the medical needs of the local population, before sending it to other parts of the country.
