Punjab has received 804.26 metric ton liquid medical Oxygen (LMO) to date by operating 30 flights with assistance of the Indian Air Force since April 17.
due to the long journey involved in taking trucks to and from Bokaro, Jharkhand, and Hazira, Gujarat, from where Punjab gets its LMO quota, the state decided to airlift the oxygen tankers to the two Plants from the Chandigarh air base and bring these back by road.
The decision turned the situation in states favour as it was able to obtain adequate oxygen supplies.
