Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the process of vaccinating 18-44 age group has started but more supply of vaccines is needed for smooth rollout.
Kejriwal visited Radha Soami Satsang Beas centre in Rajendra Nagar to review the vaccination drive and said youths are coming out in large numbers to get vaccinated.
“We can achieve our target of vaccinating entire Delhi in three months if vaccines are provided to us. The Delhi Government is working with the Central Government on the issue of oxygen supply,” he said.
Talking about the oxygen situation of Delhi he said, “To treat the Covid 19 patients the most important thing is the availability of oxygen. But in Delhi, we have a scarcity of oxygen.
Whenever the oxygen level of a patient goes down immediately that person should get oxygen support. For the past several days we are battling with the scarcity of oxygen. The Delhi government is working hand-in-hand with the Central government on this matter.”
He said, “We completely understand that the central government is responsible for ensuring oxygen to the entire country.
But our only hope is that the central Government will provide Delhi with its own quota of required oxygen. During this tough time, we have also received massive support from the Supreme Court and High Court.
I am hopeful that in the coming days the situation will improve.”
