New Delhi, May 06, 2021 :
Under the direction of CM Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi government is ramping up the capacities to transport liquid oxygen in the city. The Delhi government has appointed two IAS officers at the Kalinga Nagar facility of Tata Steel where oxygen is being produced. The government has formed a decentralized management system for the distribution of oxygen within the city to various hospitals and institutions. Principal Secretary Transport and OSD Health — Ashish Kundra — on Thursday held a zoom meeting with senior Delhi government officials and journalists and briefed them on the following issues.
On 5 May, Delhi received around 360MT oxygen through the railway route. Railway supplies and containerized cargoes are an efficient way of supplying liquid oxygen. Delhi is gradually ramping up capacities to transport liquid oxygen.
The oxygen supply chain has become more efficient through the railway movement. Through tankers and containers, Delhi is getting oxygen supply from areas that fall nearby, such as Panipat. The Delhi government team tracks the movement of each and every tanker for obstacle-free movement. The Delhi Government has got a GPS tracking system on 41 tankers carrying oxygen in the city. A dashboard has been prepared, and Amazon has been roped in as a partner to track the cargos carrying the liquid oxygen in the National capital.
Delhi Government has now formed a decentralized management system for the distribution of oxygen within the city to various hospitals and institutions. All the DMs are tracking each and every re-filler and making sure that it reaches the earmarked destination. The Health Department has also issued an order to revive the dealer network of oxygen cylinders. All dealers who were providing industrial gases, have been linked with the re-fillers. The dealers provide cylinders to the retailer outlets for citizens.
The government is also creating a buffer stock for oxygen and 505 D-type cylinders have already been distributed to 11 Deputy Commissioners across the city. The Delhi Government is also making an appeal through this medium for the donation of cylinders.
You can log onto the official website — www.delhigov.in and click on the tab that says COVID donation. A control room will be formed by 7th May to monitor the real-time dashboard of the oxygen supply and demand in the city.
