State government has ordered 100 ventilators, not thousand!
The order has not been confirmed, says the company
Bengaluru: The state government had said that it has ordered 1000 ventilators to Skanray Technology Company of Mysuru to control coronavirus infection. However, it has been reported that so far only 100 ventilators have been ordered. Even that order is also not confirmed, said the company.
Though the chief minister, deputy chief minister and government officials had convened a meeting through video conference on March 23 and decided to immediately order a thousand ventilators. But we have received an order to provide only 100 ventilators, said the company's founder and managing director, Vishwaprasad Alva.
The DCM and the Health Minister have given notice but It remained merely on letters as no advance payment was made. Thus, the order that has arrived now cannot be considered a confirmed order. We are not manufacturing ventilators for the state government, he clarified.
