Amid an acute oxygen crisis in the national capital, Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital here received a supply of the life-saving gas in a cryogenic tanker around 10 am on Sunday, officials said. It came as a huge relief for the hospital which was running on its backup stock of oxygen.

"We had exhausted our oxygen stock and were using the backup which would have lasted for two hours only," said LNJP Hospital''s Medical Director Dr Suresh Kumar. AAP MLA Raghav Chaddha, who is also the chairman of LNJP Hospital''s Rogi Kalyan Samiti, had earlier tweeted about the cryogenic tanker on its way to refill oxygen stock in the hospital.
