Right-wing influencers continue to lie to the public over the #CoronaPandemic mismanagement in India.
Here @KanganaTeam deliberately misleads people by suggesting the setting up of #oxygen plants was the responsibility of state governments. The truth is different.

The Union Government took a full 8 months to just invite bids for tenders to set up oxygen plants in India.
An investigation by journalists @VijaytaL and @psychia90 for @scroll_in, revealed the autonomous CMS Society under @MoHFW_INDIA only opened bidding on 21st October 2020!
The entire project from start to finish, was the responsibility of the Union Government, and State governments had nothing to do with it!
Furthermore the budget outlay, (from the PM CARES Fund), was a relatively paltry sum of ₹201.58 crores.

Shockingly, work on the installation and operational completion of the oxygen plants has proceeded at a tardy pace, as confirmed by the Union Government itself.
Only 33 (of the 162 sanctioned) have been installed and as the #CoronaSecondWave broke, only 5 were operational!

The Delhi High Court in fact pulled up the Union Government for non-compliance in very strong language, on 22nd April, 2021.

India is running out of oxygen, Covid-19 patients are dying – because the government wasted time

It took eight months to invite bids for over 150 oxygen generation plants costing just Rs 200 crore. Six months later, most still aren’t up and running.

Under sec.35 of the Disaster Management Act 2005, the Central Government is empowered to control all aspects related to the management of the ongoing #COVID19Pandemic.
The Union Government had defined COVID19 as a “notified disaster”, on 14th March, 2020. https://www.google.com/amp/s/wap.business-standard.com/article-amp/current-affairs/govt-invokes-sec-35-of-disaster-management-act-to-fight-covid-states-fume-120042001399_1.html">https://www.google.com/amp/s/wap...
Govt invokes Sec 35 of Disaster Management Act to fight Covid, states fume

The Act permits the Union government to constitute inter-ministerial central teams (IMCTs) and despatch them to states to make on-spot assessments

For anyone interested here is a link to Section 35, of the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
@KanganaTeam you really need to read this, since you are in the habit of commenting needlessly on issues you neither understand nor have information about.

Lastly, an appeal to all citizens of our Republic:
We must face the challenges of #CoronaPandemic together. The last thing we need is to fall for rumours and lies.
Hence, awareness about the truth, and the true state of things is even more critical than ever before.
