Oxygen Express with 3 loaded tankers arrives in Maharashtra from Gujarat
A train
carrying three tankers loaded with liquid medical oxygen arrived at Kalamboli
near Mumbai from Jamnagar in Gujarat on Monday, railway officials said.
The
train, carrying about 44 tonnes of liquid medical oxygen, nearly 15 tonnes in
each tanker, reached Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai at around 11.30 am, covering a
distance of about 860 km in over 17 hours, they said.
This is
the second 'Oxygen Express' to arrive in
Maharashtra, which is facing shortage of the liquid medical oxygen due to a
sharp surge in COVID-19 cases.
The first
'Oxygen Express' carrying seven tankers of the liquid medical oxygen reached
the state from Visakhapatnam on April 23. Four of those tankers were offloaded
at Nashik and three at Nagpur, considering the local need.
Informing
about the 'Oxygen Express' which arrived on Monday, Western Railway officials
said the Ro-Ro (Roll on-Roll off) goods train carrying three tankers of the
liquid medical oxygen on BWT wagons left from Hapa at Jamnagar in Gujarat
around 6 pm on Sunday. Read More
