COVID19: Oxygen Supply To Delhi: Supreme Court Hearing- Live-Updates

Mehra: This mathematical exercise should wait till the misery of the citizens. abates. I am not against an audit at all. An audit must happen Every single person is on the ground, trying to help. Even if one % of their time is diverted, it would be problematic.

Mehra: Our officers are working dah and night and report to the LG, so Centre is aware of what is happening in real time minute to minute. So to say today and cast aspersions, when we are doing everything we can to provide beds and even cylinders.

Mehra: This was the purpose and the direction was very specific. Not a single word on anything else. The entire proceeding today did not have a word on this. 

Justice Chandrachud: In fact they tried to justify the 550 allocation as well. We got this point.

Mehra: What they have done is that they are trying to wriggle out of 700. 

Justice Chandrachud: That point we have taken. 

Mehra: Okay, the scope says that Centre will place allocation plan and not a long affidavit.

Mehra: In case at 9AM, we haven’t touched 300, there is no way we will be close to 500 or 700. This is the issue. I will take you you through yesterday’s order. The scope of the proceedings today was clearly enunciated. An endeavour has been made to reopen the 30 April order.

Mehra: We have communicated several times that there was double accounting. Now have a look at the next chart. This is at 9AM today, we’ve already received 183 MT and under transit is 16.32. I’m only flagging this. Since a lot of oxygen has been stated, which has not be allocated

Mehra lists out the allocation done by various tankers. 

Mehra: There is additional supply from Reliance, Jamnagar. On 4th May, we got 80 MT and yesterday, 103. There is also Linde Faridabad. This is typically the allocation and the receipt.

Mehra: As a citizen of Delhi and on behalf of GNCTD, we are also grateful to the Court to ensure compliance. My endeavour will be to not make this adversarial.
