The news of another co-op, this time from the dairy sector, rising to the occasion and producing medical grade Oxygen for the ailing patient has come.
A team of engineers of Banas Dairy in Banaskantha district surprised many by setting up an oxygen plant in 72 hours flat to help its district medical college tide over the severe shortage of the gas, reports Businessline.
The Dairy-supported Banas Medical College & Research Institute at Palanpur faced a severe crisis last weekend, running short of oxygen for 125 Covid in-patients.
Shankar Chaudhary, Chairman of Banaskantha District Cooperative Milk Union (Banas Dairy), told the media “With the help of our team and vendors, we got the plant running in 72 hours,”.
It generates oxygen equivalent to 70 jumbo oxygen cylinders or 680 kg, sufficient for 35-40 patients, said Chaudhary.
