Kerala Will Not be Able to Send Oxygen Out Any Longer, Says CM Vijayan amid Surge in Fresh Covid Cases
Kerala Will Not be Able to Send Oxygen Out Any Longer, Says CM Vijayan amid Surge in Fresh Covid Caseson May 12, 2021 Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that with the Covid case load surging, his state will no longer be able to supply oxygen to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, as was being done till now.
In a letter to Modi, Vijayan said the state produces 219 metric tonnes of oxygen and given its huge daily requirement, it is in no position to give this outside the state any more, and hence, it should be allowed to use it for its own needs.
The reserve stock of 450 tonnes of oxygen has now come down to 86 tonnes and with cases continuing to rise, Kerala should be given exemption with regards to oxygen supplies, he demanded.
