To be clear, I meant lack of trucks to transport Oxygen, not vaccines. And this logistics problem should be seen in the context of the Pandemic - India has never needed so much Oxygen at hospitals before and so we never needed so many trucks as we do now. We actually have a very extensive railway network (colonial era yes, but upgraded and expanded to cover the country in the last 70 years) that provides connectivity to most parts of India. And we are now using that to transport the Oxygen and Trucks faster to different states - https://www.livemint.com/news/india/how-indian-railways-plan... . With vaccine, we are facing issues in keeping up with demand - again a policy failure, because the vaccine makers have been requesting government aid to upgrade and expand their manufacturing facilities since last year. It is only last month that the government has released some funds (as "advance payment") so that the vaccine makers can upgrade their facilities and produce more vaccine faster. |
