    We were seeing citizens beg for oxygen on social media. Now even hospitals are begging for oxygen. How did we arrive at this situation? We had a year to prepare for this! Modi government is responsible for this.

    Disgusting news this is. A country which is leading O2 producer has to sacrifice its citizens for want of Oxygen? What a shame. And we want to support Bangladesh while our people are saying goodbye to our nation. Absolutely no contingency plans at all. All talks. We are a happy nation speaking repeatedly about our successes and comfortably forgetting the present day situation. May the bereaved families remain consoled.
