MoS , Health Bharati Pravin Pawar in a written reply in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday said Due to unprecedented surge in demand of medical oxygen during the second wave— the demand in the country peaked to nearly 9000 MT as compared to 3095 MT during the first wave, the central government had to step in to facilitate equitable distribution to the States. Detailed guidelines for reporting of deaths have been issued by the Union health ministry to all states and UTs… Accordingly, all states and UTs report cases and deaths to the Union health ministry on a regular basis. However, no deaths due to lack of oxygen have been specifically reported by States/UTs,” Pawar replied.After the govt statement this reply has become a flashpoint between the BJP and the Congress.
