New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Saturday said that if any official at the central, state, or local administration is found obstructing in the picking up or supply of oxygen, then “we will hang that man”.
The observation by a bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli came during the hearing of a plea by Maharaja Agrasen Hospital over shortage of oxygen for seriously ill COVID patients, said media reports.
The court told the Delhi government to give it one instance of who was obstructing the oxygen supply and said “we will hang that man”.
“We will not spare anyone,” the bench added.
The court told the Delhi government to inform the Centre also about such officials of the local administration so that it could take action against them.
