Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, on Sunday, stated that excess oxygen will be shared with other northeastern states. An Oxygen Express carrying 80 metric tonnes of medical oxygen from the Tatanagar Railway station in Jharkhand, reached the Inland Container Depot.

The Oxygen Express will arrive twice in Assam every week with 160 metric tonnes of oxygen.

“Apart from fulfilling its own requirement, Assam would supply surplus oxygen to other northeastern states of Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Tripura,” the chief minister said.
