As the Delhi government said it had logged a record 32,000 cases in a single day yesterday, the High Court also raised questions on the Centre's distribution policy on oxygen and vaccines.

New Delhi: Taking up allegations of oxygen shortage and discrimination in resources leaving Delhi hamstrung in its Covid fight, the High Court said today if medicines were not being sent to places that really needed them, "blood is on their hands". Delhi logged a record 32,000 cases in a single day yesterday, the city government told the High Court as it complained that oxygen, medicines, vaccine doses and beds were falling far too short in the capital's escalating crisis.

Asking the Centre to cut down on oxygen for industries -- like petroleum and steel -- to ensure enough to treat Covid patients, the Delhi High Court said economic interests could not override human lives or "we are heading for disaster".

"Out of 130 crore, there are less than two crore official cases. Even if it's five times, that means only 10 crore cases. We should protect the remaining people. At this rate, we might lose one crore people. We should act fast," the Delhi High Court said to the Centre.

"We are not here to run the government but you have to be sensitive to the situation."

Yesterday, the Delhi government had alleged in court that it was falling short of oxygen for Covid patients because supplies were being diverted to "one of the largest states" of the country. Delhi did not take names, saying it could become political.

"If despite having the medication, it is being sent to region A instead of region B which is in need of said medication, then be sure, blood is on their hands," the Delhi High Court said.

The High Court told the Centre that enough oxygen was not being supplied to Covid patients in Delhi and questioned whether it could be diverted from industries.
