Kejriwal Requests All CMs To Send Oxygen To Delhi ‘If They Have Spare’

Mumbai: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday wrote a letter to his counterparts in other states and union territories to send the surplus of oxygen they may have to the Capital as the city faces an acute shortage to treat critically ill Covid-19 patients.

“I am writing to all CMs requesting them to provide oxygen to Delhi if they have spare. Though Central govt. is also helping us, the severity of corona is such that all available resources are proving inadequate,” he wrote on Twitter
