India is now facing Oxygen shortage problem, CM Delhi posted on social media, CM Maharashtra ask Centre Government for help
Delhi : CM Arvind Kejriwal tell the public through social media what problem is Delhi facing now.

OXYGEN HAS BECOME AN EMERGENCY IN DELHI”
Maharashtra : No response from PM on call for oxygen, says Maharashtra CMO
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray reportedly tried to speak to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 17 about the severe oxygen shortage in the State, but could not get through, because the latter was campaigning in West Bengal, sources in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said.
“The CM called the Prime Minister at about 10:30 a.m. this morning; this was his third attempt since yesterday to speak to Mr. Modi but we were told that he is busy campaigning in West Bengal and will return the call once he is back,” a source in CMO said.
Mr. Modi addressed two rallies in West Bengal on April 17 — in Asansol and Gangarampur.
Now everyone is asking questions from Central Government
Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi in a tweet said, “Central government: no shortage of vaccines, oxygen, remdesevir
State government: okay, then help procure for our state we are running short
Central government: stop your shameless and petty politics
Trolls and Bots: lets amplify with fake charges”
“Why did the Prime Minister and his team ignore the fact that oxygen supply will become critical when the numbers double. They had a whole year to prepare for the second wave,” Mr. Chidambaram said.
“The PM should be at his desk, accessible to every CM of this country. Chief Ministers can’t be speaking to private secretary of the Prime Minister,” the former Finance Minister said.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal in a strongly worded statement said he was “saddened to see Uddhav Thackeray’s gimmicks” on the issue of oxygen supply and added that Mr. Thackeray needed to “stop his daily dose of shameless politics and take responsibility.”
“Government of India, with all stakeholders, is ensuring maximum oxygen production in India. We are currently producing 110% of oxygen generating capacity and diverting all available oxygen from industrial use to medical use,” Mr. Goyal said. He added that Maharashtra had so far received the highest quantity of oxygen in India and that the Centre was co-ordinating daily with States to assess needs and assure help.
He also said Prime Minister is in his meetings to review oxygen availability etc. had stressed on synergy with State governments.
