Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the Tata Group for importing 24 containers to transport liquid oxygen as India faces a shortage of the life-saving gas used in hospitals to treat Covid-19 patients.

"Compassionate gesture by the Tata Group. Together, the people of India will fight Covid-19," said Modi on his personal Twitter handle Wednesday night.

Modi, in a televised speech last night, said his government would ensure supply of medical oxygen across the country, with contribution from both public and private entities.
