Amarinder urges PM to ensure adequate medical oxygen supplies for Punjab from other states

Chandigarh, Sep 23 (UNI) Amid apprehensions of shortages with rising cases, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday urged the Prime Minister to direct urgent steps to ensure adequate supplies from other states, and also sought expeditious release of Rs 200 crore that the state government had requested as the next tranche of central aid for Covid management.
With experts suggesting of possible aggravation of Covid conditions due to stubble burning, the Chief Minister also reiterated his demand for fiscal aid by the Centre to farmers for defraying the cost on management of paddy straw.
Though the state government is launching an aggressive media campaign to educate farmers and people in general, giving the linkage with Covid, it was imperative for the Government of India to step in with the Rs 100/quintal compensation the state has been seeking for the farmers to manage the paddy straw.
