Hearing on oxygen shortage: Supreme Court asked the Center - tell us the plan to give 700 metric tons of oxygen daily to Delhi by 10.30 am tomorrow.

The Center has moved the Supreme Court against the High Court's notice to the central officers who are looking after the supply of oxygen in Delhi. An immediate hearing was started in the Supreme Court on Wednesday on the appeal of the Center. The Supreme Court accepted that sending the officers of the Center to jail or dragging them in a contempt case will not get oxygen, but the court asked the Center what is the solution to the problem? The Supreme Court asked the Center to learn from the Mumbai model and try to give full oxygen to Delhi. Also said that plan to give 700 metric tons of oxygen to Delhi daily till 10.30 am tomorrow.

On behalf of the Center, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court that the Center and its officers are trying their best in the matter. In such a situation, it is unfortunate to start the process of contempt by the Delhi High Court. The Supreme Court said that due to lack of oxygen, lives have been lost and there is no doubt about it.

The Supreme Court asked the Center - tell us about the oxygen supply

A contempt notice was sent by the Delhi High Court to the Center and its officers for not following the instructions given for the supply of oxygen for the treatment of Covid patients in Delhi. The court also directed the officers to remain present in the court.

When the Center reached the Supreme Court against it, Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice MR Shah said that you are just running from one place to another. Please tell us about the demand and supply of oxygen. What steps were taken to solve this problem? The epidemic has spread across the country. We have to find ways to determine oxygen supply. We are unable to reply to the people of Delhi.
