Mahavitaran to provide immediate supply to oxygen-generating plants and Covid hospitals

Nagpur: Taking cognizance of the emergency situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the state, Mahavitaran has decided to give new connections and to give additional load to oxygen-generating plants and Covid hospitals.
Over the last month, Mahaviataran released new connections to ten major oxygen-generating plants in the state within a span of 24 to 48 hours. Apart from this, 35 Covid hospitals were also given new electricity connections by the agency.
At a time when the country is witnessing the deadly second wave of Covid-19, most parts of the state are staring at extreme shortage of oxygen for the treatment of patients. With an increase in demand, state energy minister Nitin Raut has instructed Mahavitaran to give new connections and also provide additional power load immediately to oxygen-generating plants and Covid hospitals.
The chairman and managing director of Mahavitaran Vijay Singhal has directed all the regional offices to be well prepared. “The work which usually takes 8 to 10 days is now being completed in just 24 to 48 hours. Mahavitaran has taken priority action, leaving aside administrative and technical formalities,” stated a press release on Monday.
Till date, the agency has released new connections to 35 Covid hospitals.
