India / Pm narendra modi directs to 1500 oxygen plants in all over india to counter third wave

New Delhi: The central government has intensified preparations amid fears of the third wave of Corona. PM Narendra Modi held a high-level meeting on Friday regarding the availability of medical oxygen in the country and ordered 1,500 oxygen plants to be set up. These plants will be set up in different parts of the country. In this meeting, PM Modi asked the officials to ensure that they work as soon as possible. Along with this, in the meeting, PM Modi also emphasized on giving necessary training to the hospital staff for the operation and maintenance of the oxygen plant.

Funding of these oxygen plants will be done from PM Cares Fund. This will help in creating 4 lakh oxygen beds in the country. PM Narendra Modi said in this important meeting that there should be some people in every district, who should be trained in terms of operation and maintenance of oxygen plants. Corona cases were found on a large scale in the second wave of corona in India, which lasted from March to May. Not only this, in comparison to the first wave, this time there were more cases of oxygen deficiency. At the same time, there was a shortage of medical oxygen, ventilator beds etc. in all the cities of the country including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore.

PM orders officers to work with state governments

Due to this, the government also had to face a lot of criticism. Perhaps this is the reason why PM Modi has held this meeting amid fears of a third wave and has ordered to set up oxygen plants at the earliest. PM Modi said in this meeting that the officers of the Central Government should work closely with the State Governments and ensure that proper training of the staff of the hospitals can be done. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that governments should use new technology so that the functioning of oxygen plants can be monitored at the local and national level.
