New Delhi/UNI: At least 20 critical patients succumbed overnight at the Jaipur Golden Hospital, here in the national capital Delhi due to the shortage of Oxygen gas.

Hospital sources said the Oxygen shortage still persists and only 30 more minutes of Oxygen supply is left.

Delhi is currently reeling under a severe crisis of Oxygen shortage.

On Friday, 25 "sickest patients" of Covid-19 had died at Ganga Ram Hospital in the national capital, allegedly due to shortage of Oxygen.

Though the hospital said it needed oxygen cylinders to be airlifted immediately, its top officers contradicted each other on whether all the deaths were due to the shortage of the gas.

In a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to the former to ensure adequate supply of Oxygen to the national capital to avoid deaths.
