It was done as part of the district administration’s plan to secure supply of oxygen from Odisha. On Wednesday, four tankers were air-lifted from Nagpur to Odisha to bring oxygen from Angul steel plant. The tankers sent on Thursday also shall follow the schedule. On Thursday, from various sources, the district received 106 MT of oxygen. The said supply came from oxygen filling centres in Bhilai, Raipur, and Nagpur.
