Kohima: Just a day after Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio sought the assistance of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to airlift equipment for setting up three oxygen plants, the Indian Air Force (IAF) airlifted 13,000 kg of the consignment on Friday amid a rise in COVID-19 cases.
The three oxygen plants would be set up in Kohima, Dimapur and Mokokchung under the PM Cares Fund. As per the health department, Nagaland will be setting up 13 oxygen plants across all state districts. The other oxygen plants are to be aided by UNICEF and UNDP.
The CM took to Twitter to thank Singh for ensuring the air transport of the equipment, hoping that the plant will enable consistent oxygen supply for effective management of COVID-19 cases.
