700 beds in Himachal Pradesh to get oxygen supply directly from 'Oxygen Bank': Anurag Thakur
Hamirpur/UNI: Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Monday shared that the government was going to build an oxygen Bank in Himachal Pradesh by combining 300 Oxygen Concentrators, three Oxygen Plants and 200 Oxygen Cylinders to secure 700 beds with an uninterrupted supply of oxygen.
"In view of the usefulness of oxygen in this second wave of Corona epidemic, the Central Government is providing oxygen on a war footing across the country," Thakur said.
"While the country used to consume around 1,000 tons of oxygen before 1 April 2020, this figure has now increased to 9000 tones," he added.
Amidst the second wave of Covid-19, Anurag Thakur said, "In addition to this serious situation of the epidemic, I am in regular contact with all the district administration of my parliamentary constituency."
"And after talking with them it has been decided to set up three PSA Oxygen Generation Plants (one each of 500 LPM and 140 - 140 LPM) which will benefit all the five districts of the Hamirpur Parliamentary constituency. "
