The plant, which has remained defunct for several months, is expected to start production soon. Shivamogga Deputy Commissioner K.B. Shivakumar told The Hindu over the phone that the supply might start by Saturday. “The plant has remained inactive for several months. We have to check how the machines work. Once the plant is ready, we will be getting vapour oxygen and the quantity would be sufficient for the requirement in our taluk hospitals”, he said.
