Bar Council Of Delhi chairman and senior advocate Ramesh Gupta breaks down before the Delhi High court, says, we're getting calls of people seeking oxygen, medicines, beds. He tells HC that lawyers are asking for help regarding cylinders, they say they'll die if they don't get it

Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta urges the court to direct that a hospital with ICU beds be attached for members of the Bar. Gupta says we understand the situation is not very good and people are dying because vaccines, oxygen, other facilities are not there.

Advocate Gupta says - we do not want to say Delhi govt or Central Government is at fault. Why can't we involve the Army?

HC says - we understand your pain. Nobody could've imagined this sudden surge of COVID.

HC asks Delhi govt counsel to seek instructions.

Delhi High Court says it is a war against COVID, not a battle.

The Court observation came when one of the oxygen suppliers, Vinayak Gases, tells High Court that its owners are down with COVID and they are providing everything.

Seth Air tells Delhi High Court that it has run out of funds and not able to procure Oxygen. Seth Air tells HC that Linde has increased the rates of oxygen supply but Seth Air supplying at old rates

HC says it's a problem if Linde is charging more & you're supplying at old rates

Delhi High Court asks Amicus Curiae Rajshekhar Rao to get in touch with Linde and try to understand the issue.

Delhi High Court suggests creating a WhatsApp group for communication between the oxygen suppliers and their target hospitals, which will help in keeping transparency and accountancy.
