Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has revealed that the Centre has rejected his government’s proposal to import liquid oxygen from Pakistan.

In a press release issued by the Punjab government on Tuesday, the Punjab CM was quoted as saying that “the Government of India had expressed its inability to even allow Punjab’s local industry to undertake commercial import of LMO [liquid medical oxygen] from Pakistan through the Wagah-Attari border, which is geographically proximate”.

In the release, the CM further said that the Centre had failed to provide an “adequate supply of oxygen from alternate sources”.
Punjab CM Amarinder Singh on Tuesday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking their urgent intervention in ensuring an uninterrupted supply of medical oxygen to the state.

He also sought additional allocation of 50 MT LMO from a nearby source and 20 additional tankers, preferably conducive to rail travel for timely evacuation of oxygen from Bokaro.

Expressing concern over the imminent loss of lives due to oxygen shortage across the state, the chief minister said with mounting caseload, he was unable to increase Level 2 and Level 3 beds due to oxygen availability constraints.
The total allocation of LMO from outside the state is currently 195 MT, of which 90 MT is from Bokaro in eastern India. The balance 105 MT comes from LMO facilities in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

However, Punjab is not getting its daily allocated quota, said the chief minister. The existing backlog for Punjab from these LMO facilities is 5.6 MT from Panipat (Haryana), 100 MT from Sela Qui, Dehradun (Uttarakhand) and 10 MT from Roorkee, he added.
Referring to the shortage of tankers, the chief minister said the state was airlifting two empty tankers daily to Ranchi, with the filled tankers returning by road from Bokaro on a 48-50 hours journey. The chief minister said that the state government had already requested the Centre to allocate 20 additional tankers, conducive to rail travel, to allow for the regular evacuation of 90 MT LMO from Bokaro on a daily basis, but had been told that only two would be provided, and even those were yet to come.

Centre Turned Down Punjab’s Proposal to Urgently Buy Oxygen From Pakistan: Punjab CM

Punjab state leaders had been pushing for an ‘oxygen corridor’ from Pakistan as the graph of new COVID-19 rose inexorable from early April.

This blind nationalism, hyper nationalist bloated egotistic ideas are not good...for the people of India.

 

[Genghis khan1]

BJP hate Pakistan so much they rather have their own countrymen die instead of importing Oxygen.

 

[Vapnope]

Pakistan and India still are trade partners in many areas and there is nothing to be ashamed off. Our people seek medical help from Indian doctors, we import raw materials from India and Modi should have allowed CM Punjab to procure oxygen tanks from Pakistan's Punjab. It is not the time for image building, it is time to save humans.

It is not the time for image building, it is time to save humans.

Modi with his small mind and big ego(this is proven) with all the signs of a narcissist megalomaniac still have this thinking that it would damage his reputation politically, a big part of Modi's BJP electorates are won by the ideology of Pakistan hatred.

Arrogance leads to ignorance.

Hatred devours...mind and body alike.











This is more damning...even govt controlled English media is now coming up with dissenting voices...is there a change in establishment thinking there, Modi has become a burden, with far too much incumbency factor.

It's like a genocide with tacit approval from the center.

Covid deaths due to oxygen shortage no less than genocide: Allahabad High Court

The court observed that “death of Covid patients just for non-supplying of oxygen to the hospitals is a criminal act and not less than a genocide” by those responsible for ensuring the continuous procurement and supply of medical oxygen.

Just wow... blind nationalism and big egos indeed. It's the poor people of India who will bear the brunt of these decisions.

Cant classify self genocide as genocide
Indian punjabi should demand for a separate country then i will call it so

 

[lightoftruth]

Pakistan itself should stop exporting oxygen for its own citizens sake......

 

[Meliodas]

Pakistan should focus first on own readiness, our infrastructure is much much fragile and low on scalability scale.

 

[FuturePAF]

Pakistan should focus first on own readiness, our infrastructure is much much fragile and low on scalability scale.

Once they have refused,I agree, Pakistan should start focusing on its readiness and stop sending supplies to India. With Eid coming as a potential super spreader event, there is little time left to get ready.

The government should make sure it has all the expected supplies in place or on order. Oxygen supplies should be stockpiled band oxygen production facilities should be imported ASAP from China. Space should be made ready to quarantine those that can’t go home or live with a lot of people and have become infected.

Look at what is happening to Nepal. Their cases are spiking, and they are basically being over run by the virus.

Deploy the army (and recruit new people if needed) for the next 30 days to enforce SOPs and Eid at home.

Pakostan should be doing all it can to get as many vaccines as possible into the country to vaccinate the most vulnerable. We should be studying the data coming out of India to pinpoint who, beyond the known vulnerable, were also vulnerable and vaccinate them as soon as supplies come in.

The US is planning on selling or giving (or some mix of the two) Bangladesh 20 million vaccine doses, Pakistan should be approaching the US to ask for as many as they can spare, and be prepared to pay for them (a penny in prevention is worth a dollar of cure). Also, local vaccine needs to be ramped up ASAP.

The Indian virus will eventually hit Pakistan, it’s only a matter of time, but through due diligence it could be slowed down and its spread minimized, giving the health care system time to properly treat patients.

India gasping for breath and Modi is basking in the fake glory and the gory deaths.

Points to the fact that hyper nationalism makes you blind, blind to the realities on the ground and gives one a fake sense of egotistic bloated sense of superiority and grandeur.

Indoctrinated and taught with this falsehood of 'we are better and holier than thou'...

'Thin Skin and big Chips' kind of syndrome...not just Modi many Indians have this superiority syndrome.

Has anyone predicted the drama end of Cold War? No.
No one knows when India will collapse, maybe tomorrow, maybe 10 years later. We just don't know.
