As the country grapples with oxygen shortage, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik dialed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and assured him of cooperation.

“It is a war-like situation and Odisha will extend all cooperation in the fight against Covid at the national level including ramping up oxygen production to assist other states in this emergency,” the CM said.
