Mumbai: The second wave of corona virus has wreaked havoc across the country. The Maharashtra government has even started preparations to deal with the third wave. Elaborate arrangements are being made to ensure that no one loses their lives due to lack of oxygen in the third wave. The government estimates that the demand for oxidation may increase during the third wave and it may increase to 2300 MT. Due to this, the State Government has set a target of producing 3,000 Metric Tonnes of oxygen every day.

Preparations have also started for the same. Maharashtra has a capacity of 1300 metric tonnes of oxygen production every day as per the information of the CM office.

Now, for this, the State Government has decided to give special incentives to industries under Mission Oxygen Swavalamban.

At the same time, emphasis is being laid on further strengthening of health infrastructure. Let me tell you that it includes a lot of things including oxygen production, storage. The Government has already started working on all these aspects.
