oxygen crisis

District authorities in Agra have launched a probe after a video of the incident that took place on April 26 went viral on social media

While the import price of one oxygen concentrator was around ₹15000, Navneet Kalra and his aide sold it for ₹69,999.

Navneet Kalra who was on a run since the day of the raid was arrested from his brother-in-laws’ home in Gurugram.

Journalist Sandhya Ravishankar alleged that Tamil Nadu govt is under-reporting the actual number of new Covid-19 cases and deaths.

Even if we present this to the US government, there is no way they can manage it … forget any other country. These are astronomical numbers that no country in the world has the infrastructure to manage," said Dr Shetty.

Jain said that the central government's job is to inform these manufacturers to produce a certain amount of oxygen, which they did and made a chart for each state with specific volume allocation.

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has been at the forefront to meet demands and streamline oxygen supply in the state.

Navneet Kalra filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court with Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi appearing on his behalf.

Earlier, Kejriwal govt had vehemently opposed the oxygen audit.

The court was hearing a plea submitted by Gourav Khanna, the chief executive officer (CEO), Gaurav, business head, Sathish Sethi, manager, and Vikrant, sales executive at Matrix Cellular. The court granted bail to all four accused.
