Bhubaneswar: The Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) has come forward to help COVID patients struggling for life in several hospitals in the country due to an acute shortage of medical oxygen.

In a Twitter post, the oil major has said that it would refuel the C-17 aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) at the Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar to carry back the tankers loaded with oxygen from various plants across the state.

It may be mentioned here that the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had praised the gesture of his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik for his assurance to facilitate the movement of medical oxygen tankers to meet the urgent requirement of the major hospitals.
