    Oxygen has reached India. When will it reach the public? Or will it be stored and then exported to other countries. We need news from the government that they are supplying the oxygen free of cost to the public. Hope there is no business mindedness or politics in this but only humanity. hope our politicians give human the sand respect that cows are given in India.

    Charles DeMello Pangla why we are recieving oxygen from Kuwait?because in karnataka they are still planning plants,and people are suffering and die without oxygen.Whatever we have must be in some Private hospitals and only few to Govt.hospitals.Let us hope now this problem will be solved or again these cylinders go to some agents for sale who pays the highest price.

    So many nations have sent aid to India. Is there an audit or accountability as to where all the equipment is going ? People are still dying without the basic Oxygen and medications. No one has any clue where this shipment will end up.

    Don’t allow any political party leaders onboard the ship for photo shoot. And they may bring virus to Naval crew

    Why oxygen is coming to Mangalore (which is in Karnataka) since we are sending our oxygen to other states (If it is for others. Then mention it clearly).....!!!???? Is it not a common logic to give others what we produce is more than our requirement...!!!!?????? i do not think anyone is required to be educated to know this logic.

    'We' the twin districts get 'our' entire oxygen supply from kerala. Maybe before covid Karnataka was net exporter of oxygen as India was largest exporter also. Dont known about current status but doubt if we can produce enough to meet our current requirement. Some official figures would provide clarity and maybe reassurance.

    Kuwait, we are ‘Self Reliant’ means Atmanirbhar only to get votes otherwise we are reliant means Nirbhar on you. Sorry, we are playing with your generosity and religion for vote sake. This kind gesture of yours shows how much we are dependant on you and your brothers in gulf.

    Veer Nagpur,are they not your brothers too?During sickness and emergency time we all are brothers and sisters ,not by religion caste or big account.Each one should help wherever one can .Problem in India is they hide and sell important medical aids ,beds medicines ,and oxygen cylinders to most payable person .That again we support this ,because we need it ,that sellers make use of this and cash .A circle without end.
