PURNIA: The oxygen generation plant at Maranga on the outskirts of the town became non-functional due to some technical issues, but Purnia DM Rahul Kumar said there was no oxygen crisis.
“The plant stopped functioning due to some technical snag. But, we contacted our counterparts in 5-7 districts, including Kishanganj, Katihar, Supaul and others. All extended help and at least 100 cylinders were pooled in to avert the crisis,” he said on Wednesday.

The DM said the plant produces oxygen for around 350 cylinders, big and small. “We faced liquid oxygen supply issue from Bhagalpur also. The liquid oxygen supply line from an agency in Bhagalpur was also snapped today,” he said.
According to a highly placed source, the Maranga plant supplies medical oxygen to distribution agencies for refilling of cylinders and distribution to different hospitals and private nursing homes in the town.
