Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejiwal said that there is a severe shortage of oxygen in the state. SOS messages are coming from every hospital. We have spoken to the court and have written a letter to the Center that Delhi needs 976 tons of oxygen daily but only 490 tons of oxygen is being received.

The Delhi High Court has ordered the central government to provide 490 metric tons of oxygen to Delhi today by whatever means.
The Delhi High Court said that this is the limit and now everything will have to be managed by the Center. The High Court asked the Center why the four oxygen tankers allotted to Delhi were not issued by the Rajasthan government despite the order. The court said that the next hearing will be held on Monday.
"Water has gone above the head. Now we mean business. You (Centre) will arrange everything now, "the court said.
The Delhi High Court has listed the matter for further hearing on Monday.
