With oxygen in short supply, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, with his team of 10 officers, including PSCM V Umashanker, Additional PSCM Amit Agarwal and Mohd Shayin, is monitoring the oxygen allocation after calculating the patient load and oxygen beds in the districts.
At a time when Haryana is pulling out all stops as it wages a war against Covid, it is simultaneously fighting a battle — to get its allocated share of oxygen. While hour-to-hour micromanagement is working so far, the state leadership is keeping its fingers crossed hoping to tide over the crisis without any more casualties due to wanting of oxygen.
Against a quota of 257 MT on any given day, Haryana manages to get not more than 200 MT. This is because the state is still unable to transport its allocated oxygen quantity from Odisha and the plants in the region, especially Roorkee, imposes cuts on the quota allocated.
With oxygen in short supply, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, with his team of 10 officers, including PSCM V Umashanker, Additional PSCM Amit Agarwal and Mohd Shayin, is monitoring the oxygen allocation after calculating the patient load and oxygen beds in the districts.
While IAS officers Sushil Sarwan and Vikas Yadav have been stationed at the Panipat plant, another officer Rajiv Rattan is handling the supply from the Roorkee plant which is proving challenging.
Sources say the supply from Roorkee is erratic and the quota of 25 MT is hardly ever allocated. Everything from the tanker getting in through the gates to filling these up is a struggle, one which Rattan and the cops accompanying him are dealing with regularly.
Despite this monitoring, Haryana is barely breaking even and even a slight change in the quota of oxygen coming into the state is enough to upset the fine balance.
Most of the DCs confirmed the demand for oxygen is far more than what is being allocated to them and they are constantly on their toes and under tremendous pressure as far as requirements in their respective districts go since hospitals never seem to be comfortably placed.
Sources said while procuring oxygen is a problem, the undue delay in unloading the tankers on their arrival is also a cause for concern.
“Everything is time-bound. The quicker the oxygen is off-loaded, the faster the tanker can be on its way for the next day’s quota. Any delay means falling back in the line at that particular plant where the states queue up for their quota,” an officer explained.
This has prompted the CM to direct the DCs to unload the tankers in the shortest span. The oxygen situation continues to remain precarious while the leadership works around the issue.
