Modi govt pulls up Delhi over oxygen supply chaos

As the political bickering continues between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP on the Covid-19 situation in Delhi, the Arvind Kejriwal government, during a review meeting called by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), was pulled up for the sustained dip in daily testing numbers, the inability to procure oxygen and ensure its equitable distribution.
On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court also came down heavily on the AAP government over its “failure” to check black-marketing of oxygen cylinders and crucial medicines, and said it will ask the central government to take over gas refiller units if the state cannot handle the situation.
