The spread of COVID cases is a little high so home isolation has been conducted, medication and distribution of oximeters is going on.”

“Within 10-15 days, there’ll be one PSA oxygen plant in each hill district. I’ve also given oxygen concentrators to hill districts. In Senapati, I also provided 1 ambulance,” he added.
