Experts believe second wave will peak at may 15 and gradually go down. The main problem is the logistics, overall production in the country >> demand. there is a lot of panic a d black market sales and hoarding of oxygen cylinders production > demand aithe why hoarding ?

Popular Post Spartan Posted April 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 The Indian Air Force (IAF) is ferrying empty oxygen tankers to filling stations across the country, pressing its transport fleet into action at a time when SOS calls for medical oxygen are ringing out from different corners. On Twitter, IAF has said its "transport fleet is supporting the fight against Covid-19", while also airlifting "medical personnel, critical equipment and medicines". IAF aircraft C-17, IL-76, C-130 J, AN-32 and AVROS are crisscrossing the Indian skies to eliminate supply obstacles in the distribution of oxygen, a life-saving resource for critical Covid-19 patients. "Our effort is to give logistical help to ease distribution bottlenecks," a top official in the defence ministry said. Oxygen is combustible and considered risky to be carried on flights. While the gaseous form is still allowed, liquid oxygen is not. Though both passenger and freight flights are allowed to carry oxygen cylinders under a law dealing with the transport of what are known as "dangerous goods" on air, the permissible quantity is such that it may not help in a public health crisis. That law, however, does not apply to military aircraft. For now, efforts by IAF focus on cutting travel time of empty containers to places where oxygen is available or produced. The containers supplied by IAF are filled with oxygen and sent to their final destinations by road. In the wake of the ongoing crisis, it has emerged that transport bottlenecks are a big hurdle in supplying oxygen to hospitals. Media reports have pointed out that the country didn't have enough cryogenic tankers for round-the-clock transport of medical oxygen — which is prepared in liquid form and then converted to its gaseous form by distributors who makes supplies to hospitals. With the health crisis deepening in the country, IAF's transport fleet has been on the job for the last two days. Two C-17 Globemasters have airlifted two empty cryogenic oxygen containers, while an IL-76 has ferried an empty container to Panagarh. Eight containers have been airlifted from Begumpet in Hyderabad to Bhubaneswar. Oxygen containers from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bengaluru, too have been sent to Delhi, where the crisis is acute. @Ryzen_renoir @manadonga @Iriswest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Covid-19: First 'Oxygen Express' train leave from Mumbai region to Vizag The first 'Oxygen Express' departed from Central Railway's Kalamboli yard on Monday evening to ferry liquid oxygen for Maharashtra from Vishakhapatnam steel plant in Andhra Pradesh amid the worsening COVID-19 situation. In a statement, the ministry of railways informed that the Mumbai Division built a ramp overnight within 24 hours at Kalamboli goods yard to facilitate loading/unloading of tankers in/from flat wagons. "The Ro-Ro (roll-on, roll-off) service with seven empty tankers departed from Kalamboli goods yard for Visakhapatnam steel plant siding at 8.05 pm on Monday." This train will move via Vasai Road, Jalgaon, Nagpur, Raipur Junction to Visakhapatnam steel plant siding in ECoR zone where it will be loaded with Liquid Medical Oxygen. On Sunday, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, in an interview to ANI, had informed that the central government was creating a green corridor for fast movement of 'Oxygen Express' trains to facilities for the smooth transport of oxygen to states. "A decision has been taken to start transportation of oxygen cylinders or tankers in trains. The transportation of cylinders has already started. Green corridors will be introduced to ensure a fast supply of oxygen where these trains can reach their destination at a high speed," Goyal had said. "For the transportation of liquid oxygen, military wagons will be used to transport 3.3 meter high tankers. These trains will not be stopped so that they can reach their destination at a fast speed," he added. The worsening COVID-19 situation has seen a surge in the demand for medical oxygen and beds for the COVID-19 patients and many states are reporting a shortage in essential medical supplies.
