India has sent around 150 tons more oxygen to Sri Lanka to help the island country battle the third influx of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sri Lanka on Friday expanded the cross country lockdown till September 13 in the midst of a flood in the quantity of passings and mounting tension on the medical services framework.
"Life saver from India to Sri Lanka near 150 tons of oxygen from Vizag and Chennai arrived at the shores of Colombo," the Indian High Commission in Colombo tweeted on Saturday. Since mid-August, India has been sending oxygen to Sri Lanka following an individual solicitation by Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa, it said.
Indian Navy transport Shakti in August conveyed 100 tons of fluid clinical oxygen to the island country.
India's help to Sri Lanka during the pandemic has been changed and need-based. Near 26 tons of fundamental clinical supplies were gifted in April-May 2020. A cash trade of $400 million was given in July 2020.
The main transfer of antibodies, which was given by India in January, empowered Sri Lanka to carry out its vaccination program in front of the timetable, the Indian High Commission said.
