Aurangabad, May 12:
Recognizing the lack of oxygen availability, Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) has stepped up to support the local communities and government authorities. STL plans to donate 6 tankers or 100 MT of medical oxygen and has already handed over 2 tankers or 32MT to the district collector.
After relevant approvals and permissions, STL will procure and provide more liquid medical oxygen to government hospitals in Aurangabad to meet the increasing demand for oxygen in the district. Alongside this, STL has also created emergency storage of oxygen for the local health administration. Additionally, a team of experts has also been set up to work closely with the government hospitals in Aurangabad to ensure proper maintenance of the oxygen facility to avoid any wastage or breakdown in supplies. Giving more information, Ankit Agarwal, chief executive officer, Connectivity Solutions, STL, said, “STL feels that it is our responsibility to support our medical warriors and local communities in this fight against Covid-19. Through this initiative of providing medical oxygen along with storage and maintenance facilities, we are hopeful of creating value and saving lives in this crucial time.”
