New Delhi: Due to lack of oxygen, the Delhi High Court has been reprimanding the Central and State Government for several consecutive days. It is alleged that many states are withholding quota of other states. The Delhi High Court has expressed its displeasure over this. The Delhi High Court on Saturday said directly that if an officer of the center, state or local administration is obstructing the supply of oxygen, “we will hang that person.” At the same time, the court rebuked the center and said that you say It has been a wave. It is not a wave, it is a tsunami. These things are stated during the hearing of a petition of Maharaja Agrasen Hospital on behalf of the bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rekha Palli.
The court told the Delhi government to inform the Centre also about such officials of the local administration so that it could take action against them.
Talking tough, a bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli, also asked the Centre when the 480 metric tonne (MT) of oxygen per day allocated for Delhi would see the light of the day.
“You (Centre) had assured us (on April 21) that 480 MT per day will reach Delhi. Tell us when will it come? The 480 MT per day is still to see the light of the day,” the court said.
The query came after the Delhi government said it was getting only 380 MT oxygen per day over the past few days and it received only around 300 MT on Friday.
The court said the viral disease has a low mortality and those who have a low immunity will eventually die but the problem comes when people who could be saved are also dying. “The mortality rate needs to be reduced.”
