"oxygen-express"

The first Oxygen Express to Assam with 80 tonnes of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) in four tankers reached Assam on Sunday.

The express reached Sanath Nagar, loaded with 6 tankers filled with 87.85 tonnes of LMO.

Continuing this momentum, the supply of LMO is likely to be further strengthened with the seventh Oxygen Express having already commenced its journey

Transportation of LMO in the cryogenic tankers helps in fast transportation, compared to the regular RO-RO (Roll Off Roll On) service

The Oxygen Express containing five tankers has left for MBMB siding Angul in Odisha, where the empty tankers will be filled with Liquid Medical Oxygen

The oxygen was received at the Sanath Nagar Goods Complex today in five filled tankers, which were sent for filling to Angul, Odisha from Secunderabad on April 28.

Earlier today, the first 'Oxygen Express' train for Delhi carrying around 65 tonnes of life-saving gas reached the national capital.

The Indian Railways decided to run 'Oxygen Express' trains to transport liquid medical oxygen and oxygen cylinders across the country.

The train was carrying 100 tonnes of medical liquid oxygen from Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd in Visakhapatnam, from where it had begun its journey on April 22.

The chief minister also objected to different rates being charged from state governments and the Centre for the COVID-19 vaccine, and said "one nation, one rate" policy should be followed.

The First Roll On-Roll Off (Ro-Ro) Oxygen Express is now in East Coast Railway (ECoR) with seven empty tankers from Kalamboli Goods Shed in Maharashtra.

RINL has already supplied approximately 400 tonnes of LMO last week to various destinations in Andhra Pradesh and other states as instructed by the Centre.

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal had informed that the central government was creating a green corridor for fast movement of 'Oxygen Express' trains.
