Watch: Oxygen Express reaches Delhi as hospitals face shortage amid Covid crisis

Oxygen Express, a special train being run by Indian Railways to transport oxygen tankers and cylinders, arrived at the Delhi Cantt.

The train is carrying around 64.55 tonnes of liquid medical oxygen and had left for Delhi from Raigarh on Monday.

Four tankers of oxygen were loaded at Jindal Steel and Power Limited in Raigarh.
