The person begins weeping: “Sure, that’s what I will be able to get. My mom is mendacity there.”

The Minister cuts in once more: “Did someone deny you an oxygen cylinder?” The person spoke back, “Sure, they refused. We most effective were given one for 5 mins. It is higher that you simply outright say no.”

The incident happened out of doors the Damoh district health facility, a devoted Covid facility the place family members of sufferers had looted oxygen cylinders on Tuesday. Visuals had proven indignant family members snatching cylinders and ransacking an oxygen storeroom.
