Strict action will be taken against black marketing and stocking. Presently, 180 lakh tonnes is available. Today, we have also discussed with the Chief Minister of Gujarat to arrange additional oxygen for Madhya Pradesh. As much as 90 percent oxygen has been made reserved for hospitals. Only 10 percent oxygen will be given to industries.
Oxygen arrangements will be made on priority for Corona infected patients. Chouhan said that CT scan arrangements are being made in all the districts as early as possible.

The public is urged not to leave their houses unnecessarily and cooperate in preventing infection. Chouhan said that I was also sitting on Swasthya Agraha to prevent infection. Many volunteers are supporting this work. Many warriors are also engaged against all odds in the hospitals. They will be honoured.
Chouhan said that there will be a Tika Utsav (Vaccination fest) in the state from April 11, Jyotiba Phule Jayanti to April 14 Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti. Preparations should be completed for this.

Many voluntary organisations are also working.
