In the Corona crisis, the situation in the country’s capital Delhi is very frightening. The health system has died down, there is a huge shortage of beds and oxygen in hospitals. At the same time, 20 patients died due to lack of oxygen on Friday night in Jaipur Golden Hospital of Delhi and more than 200 patients still remain in trouble.
In the meantime Delhi high court Has slammed the Kejriwal government over the lack of oxygen. SG Mehta, Solicitor General of Jaipur Golden Hospital and lawyer Sachin Dutta appearing for the court, have described the Delhi government as negligent compared to other states.
The court rebuked Ashish Verma, OSD of the Health and Family Welfare Department of the Delhi government, saying that other states are taking many big steps to meet the oxygen shortage, so there is no reason that the Delhi government could not do .
The court also told lawyer Rahul Mehra, representing the Delhi government, that arrangements have been made for the supply of oxygen, but things will not proceed until the Delhi government takes the initiative on its own.
The court told Verma, “Every state is arranging oxygen tankers for itself, if you do not have your own tankers, make arrangements for them. You have to do this, contact the Central Government officials. We are not sitting here to facilitate liaison between officers. “
The court told Mehra, “If the allotment was made 3 days ago, then why did you not find any other option for the tankers?” Your party chief has himself been an administrative officer, he knows how to do this work. “
The Delhi High Court further said that it appears that Ashish Verma was not taking things seriously. The problem is that you think the allocation has been done. So everything will come to your door, but it is not. Have you made any effort to take oxygen tankers after the allotment?
When lawyer Mehra told the court that they were trying, he said, “What is this?” You are also taking this situation lightly. Have you contacted the plant? The court also said that since the allocation, all states are making arrangements for the supply of oxygen. The Delhi government also needs to do all this. “
Union Minister Piyush Goyal said the tankers were ready from Rourkela, but there was no one to pick it up. He said, “All other states are contacting the railways for oxygen tankers. Delhi likes the plate made. We are helping the states. Delhi officials need to do the same. ”
At the same time, SG Mehta emphasized that there was no arrangement in Delhi for the supply of oxygen in a smooth manner. No other state had faced such problems. Delhi is an exception.
