Delhi writes to centre to supply remaining oxygen in Delhi to other states. 100 states file global tender for vaccines
The Delhi’s oxygen need today is 582 metric tons and as such the union government can give the remaining oxygen to other states of the country needing it desperately. The deputy chief minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia in a press conference today said that the Delhi government has written to the union government in this regard.
Addressing a digital press conference Manish Sisodia said that Delhi has improved the situation as there have been 14% cases in Delhi today having come down to nearly ten thousand cases daily from nearly twenty seven thousand cases witnessed during the last few days.
Meanwhile the Covaxin quota has finished in Delhi with Covishield left for a day or two. Several Covaxin centres in Delhi have been closed as in Rajasthan as well due to paucity of the vaccines.
The deputy CM Delhi Manish Sisodia has yesterday accused the union government for exporting 6 crore 70 lakh jabs abroad at the cost of the suffering countrymen.
Criticizing the central government Manish Sisodia said that the Delhi CM has written to the Biotech and Serum Institute requesting them for supplying them 67 lakh jabs each but the manufacturing companies have outrightly refused saying that they can supply the vaccines to only central govt not to them.
He has on behalf of Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival demanded opening of more vaccine manufacturing units in the country and sharing of the vaccine formula to other manufacturers as well so as to enable vaccine reach each n every household.
Highly annoyed Delhi’s deputy chief minister Sisodia said that had the 6.70 crore jabs of Covishield n Covaxin not exported abroad the entire population of Delhi n Mumbai would have been vaccinated by now.
Today almost every state of the country are facing vaccine shortage and as such eleven chief ministers of the country have filed global tenders for vaccination belonging to Congress, BJP n regional parties.
The states who’ve filed the global tenders for vaccines are Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh,Telengana, Andhra Pradesh,Uttarakhand,Delhi,Rajasthan,Oddissa and Haryana. Other states are likely to follow suit.
