shortage of oxygen

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or any other independent agency with regards to shortage in supply of oxygen amid the second wave of Covid-19.

As the Delhi High Court was hearing petitions on the capital's response to the Covid-19 second wave, it was decided that while many ideas have already been floated and many orders passed, it was time to look into their compliance, before considering other aspects.

The Delhi High Court on Monday directed the Central government to look into the shortage of supply of oxygen in the hospitals in the national capital at a time when the cases of Covid-19 are rising on an alarming rate.
