New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called for increasing the availability of oxygen cylinders as well as upgrading the logistics for transportation to meet the demand in the wake of second wave of COVID-19.

During a meeting with leading oxygen manufacturers across the country via video-conferencing, the Prime Minister stressed on good co-ordination between the government and the oxygen producers.

To improve the situation further, Modi spoke about utilising the full potential of the industry to meet the demand of oxygen in the coming days. He urged the industry to utilise tankers meant to transport other gases for oxygen supply.
