TDP Says That At Least 30 Died Due To Lack Of Oxygen In Andhra

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) spokesperson K Pattabhiram said that At Least 30 people died in Andhra Pradesh due to lack of oxygen in the second wave of COVID-19. This comes after the Centre in the Rajya Sabha said that no COVID-19 deaths have been reported by any state or Union Territory due to lack of oxygen.

Mr Pattabhiram said, “More than 30 deaths were reported in one single incident in Ruia hospital in Tirupati. COVID patients died due to lack of oxygen in Vizianagaram, Kurnool, and many other towns and cities in Andhra Pradesh because of the inefficiency of the Central government to supply oxygen on time to hospitals.”

Along with this, he also added, “We have demanded ex gratis of Rs 25 lakhs for the family of each victim. We were shocked and surprised. We demand that the Central government verify the facts agains and get their records straight because this has been widely reported in domestic, national and state media.”
