I have come across news reports today which said that the central government has claimed to have sought response on oxygen deaths from 13 states so far of which only one has accepted deaths caused by oxygen shortage. However, we (Delhi government) have received no letter from the central government with any query on oxygen deaths,” said Sisodia in a video press briefing on Tuesday. Around that time, at least 31 Covid patients allegedly died due to oxygen shortage in two hospitals. Several deaths linked to oxygen shortage were reported from other states, too. And, without any probe it is difficult to say if that has caused deaths.
