Those cylinders will be brought in Kathmandu once the Chinese government hands them over to Nepal, according to the Covid-19 Crisis Management Centre (CCMC).
As Nepal has been in the grip of second wave of Covid-19, there has been high demand of oxygen cylinders to treat the infected ones. Earlier, 400 oxygen cylinders were flown to Nepal from China. Preparations are afoot to ferry 1,600 remaining cylinders, out of 20,000, provided by China in grant assistance.
