As many as 68 Oxygen Expresses have already completed their journey so far in delivering this 4,200 MT of oxygen to these six states in more than 268 tankers following requests made to the Indian Railways.
Till the time of this release, 1,679 MT has been offloaded in Delhi, 1,230 MT in UP, 555 MT in Haryana, 293 MT in Maharashtra, 271 MT in Madhya Pradesh, 123 MT in Telangana and 40 MT in Rajasthan.

"Running of a new Oxygen Express is a very dynamic exercise and figures keep getting updated all the time. More loaded Oxygen Expresses are expected to start their journeys later in the night," the Ministry said.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
