Bengaluru: Meanwhile, 34 of the total 224 oxygen generation plants are yet to be commissioned in the State. Health Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar’s office, in a statement, said, “Out of the 262 allocated plants, we have received 224 plants, 190 are commissioned with total plants’ capacity of 1,08,077 LPM (litres per minute) and production of 187 MT (metric tonne)/day.”
The staff at the Minister’s office explained that at the rest of the 34 plants, the majority of issues are civil and electrical in nature. “They are in advanced stages of completion. Soon, all 224 should be commissioned and working. The plants that we have not received are ones from CSR (corporate social responsibility) funds which have been promised but are yet to come,” a staffer said.
