The first seven tankers that will bring back Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) from Visakhapatnam, is all set to leave from Kalamboli. Of all the tankers that arrived at the station on Monday, only seven turned out to have the right specifications to be loaded on a flat wagon train. Each of the tankers will now return with about 15 to 16 tonnes of oxygen, totaling to about 100 tonnes for Mumbai.

Following requests by the state government to allow faster transportation of tankers carrying LMO, the railways identified Kalamboli and Boisar as the closest points to the city, from where the tankers can be loaded onto trains and sent to nearby states to bring back oxygen.
