Mumbai: Corona infection is currently on the rise across the country. Many State Governments are making efforts at their own level. At present, all the States are facing shortage of oxygen but there is one district where there is no shortage of oxygen. In fact, we are talking about Nandurbar, where there is no shortage of oxygen. This was possible because of the Collector of Maharashtra, who is a doctor from education and a collector by profession. He has made Nandurbar, a tribal dominated district of Maharashtra, self-sufficient in oxygen.

Yes, the importance of Dr. Rajendra Bharuda, a doctor-turned-bureaucrat, is being known to the people of Nandurbar today, when the Corona period has come. We all know that oxygen plays a big role in treating patients suffering from corona infection. At a time when the whole country is facing a crisis of oxygen shortage and many people are dying, the situation in Nandurbar is very good. Every patient is getting oxygen to treat corona here. There is no shortage of medical oxygen supply in nandurbar hospitals, no shortage of beds, no shortage of isolation wards, but the vaccination programme is also going on at a rapid pace.

In fact, in September last year, when the whole of India forgot the corona infection in carelessness, Dr. Rajendra Bharuda was awake and monitoring the preparations for the second wave. It was then that they got the oxygen plant constructed. Because he knew that another wave could come anytime. It was his far-sighted eyes that saved Nandurbar district from a major crisis today. At present, 150 empty beds and two oxygen plants are functioning in the district which produce 2400 litres of liquid oxygen every minute. Not only that, people from neighbouring States of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are also undergoing treatment in the district at present. We salute Dr. Rajendra Bharuda from the bottom of our hearts.
