Two Indian Air Force aircrafts arrived in Goa on Thursday with oxygen concentrators and other medical equipments.
In view of the growing Corona infestation in Goa and the growing stress on the medical system, the Goa government had on Wednesday evening called on Union Minister of State for Defence Naik and asked for help.
The Air Force aircrafts arrived with 323 oxygen concentrators and other medical equipments.
Speaking in this regards, Mr Naik said, “All the states, including Goa, are facing this major epidemic. Oxygen scarcity has been a headache for the government. The need for oxygen is increasing day by day. The Union government is making every effort to meet the demands of the states.”
“The Indian Army is fully engaged in the fight against Corona and their relief work is in full swing. While the Navy is playing a pivotal role in bringing oxygen and other medical supplies from friendly nations to India, the Air Force is ready on one foot to help,” he said.
Mr Naik said, “We are working hard to set up an oxygen generating plant in Goa as soon as possible. The State government should inform us of their need in time. We will try to complete it.”
