“Is there no humanity left”: Delhi HC castigates Centre for its handling of oxygen crisis

-TheLeaflet.in

THE Delhi High Court Wednesday castigated the Central Government over its handling of the oxygen crisis in the city and across the country, caused by the second wave of Covid19.

“It is the Centre’s responsibility to ensure supply of oxygen to hospitals running short of it. Protect fundamental rights of citizens by ensuring the supply of oxygen by whatever means”, said a bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli.

“There is no sense of humanity left or what? What are we looking at?” an irate Justice Vipin Sanghi asked the Centre government’s official while hearing a plea on the shortage of oxygen in Delhi hospitals.

“We are shocked at what is happening. Why is not the Government waking up to the reality?” he said.

“How is the government so oblivious of the reality on the ground. You cannot have people die because of no oxygen. You take your own sweet time and people die”.

“You are concerned with industries while people die. An emergency of such a nature. That means human lives don’t matter to the government,” he said.

The bench which also had Justice Rekha Palli assembled at 8 pm yesterday to hear an urgent application filed by Balaji Medical And Research Centre which runs Max Hospitals in NCR alleging that their hospitals were running short of oxygen.

The bench initially dictated the order directing the Centre to ensure that oxygen in steel plants or if necessary petroleum plants are made over to hospitals forthwith. However, it decided to put its order on hold after the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Chetan Sharma sought accommodation of about 45 minutes to take instructions, and make further submissions.
