A Charitable trust in Jogeshwari, which has been helping COVID-19 patients in need of oxygen support during the pandemic, said that there is a severe shortage of empty canisters in the city. But we have managed to acquire 50 cylinders so far, Tahir Chauhan, the trustee of Olive Trust, told mid-day Chauhan said they did not face this crisis last year, during the first wave of the novel Coronavirus outbreak.

“We have been helping people get oxygen cylinders for medical purposes since last year. But we never faced shortage of either oxygen gas or tanks then, but the situation is grim this time.”
