Kin line up to get oxygen refill as patients gasp for breath
The HinduA helpless Shobha, a resident of Paharganj, was stopped by security officials outside an oxygen-filling plant in west Delhi’s Naraina on Tuesday morning. Shobha’s 40-year-old sister was at home gasping for breath after getting infected by the virus and she had been running around since morning looking for oxygen as there were no hospital beds available. Jitender Kumar, a resident of Paschim Puri, said he had been standing in the queue since 4 a.m. to get the cylinder filled for his brother-in-law because he doesn’t want to lose his third relative. “I have been standing here since 7 a.m. and it’s over five hours now and I don’t know whether I’ll get oxygen or not. Virender said that on Sunday, he came at 11.30 a.m. and was only able to get the oxygen at 12.30 a.m. On Monday, they claimed to have spent nine hours to get oxygen.
