Earlier, responding to MLC Ramesh Arora's questions, MoS Asia Naqash said all the 3 generators installed in SSH Jammu were functional, only one was used on regular basis and other two were used periodically. "An amount of Rs 9.92 lakh has been demanded under Non Plan Head for AMC/CMC of Oxygen plant by Excecutive Engineer Mechanical, Hospital and Central Heating Division Jammu. It is temporarily restored by the concerned Medical Superintendent, the Oxygen plant is functional but still it needs complete servicing for which funds are required. At present the Oxygen is provided to the hospital patients through Oxygen generating plant backed by Oxygen cylinders through manifold gas pipe lines around the clock. Regarding the amount demanded above for Proper AMC/CMC the requisite amount shall be released under non plan as and when fourth installment received from the Administrative Department during the current financial year. Also there is shortage of technical staff to maintain the same," Minister for H&ME stated.
