Kailashahar, Apr 13: Two Oxygen plants set up at Unakoti District Hospital and Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Sub-divisional Hospital in Kailashahar have not been working for the last over seven months owing to some technical snags. 

It is reported that in-charge and superintendents of both hospitals, Dr. Nikendra Debbarma of Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Hospital and Dr. Samarendra Debbarma of Unakoti District Hospital wrote letters to the higher authority for repairing and restarting the plants but the higher authority seems to be indifferent as the plants are still lying non-operational.

The Chief Health Officer Dr. J B Darlong admitted that the two plants were not working for the last few months. He said replacement parts for the plant of Unakoti District Hospital are not available in Tripura and Guwahati. 

The parts are available in Bangalore and steps were taken to bring the spare parts from there and repair the Oxygen plant. Dr. Darlong also said the higher authority is aware of the necessary repair works in the Oxygen Plant of Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Hospital and he exuded confidence that steps would be taken soon.
