Indian Naval Ships Kochi and Tabar reach New Mangalore Port with oxygen & critical medical supplies
Mangaluru, May 11: A day after INS Kolkata brought 27 tonnes of oxygen and other essential material for COVID-19 treatment from Qatar and Kuwait, two more Indian Naval ships, Kochi and Tabar, reached New Mangalore Port on Tuesday with critical supplies including 100 tonnes of oxygen, a defence official said.
"Stepping up the Covid operation 'Samudra Setu II, two more Indian Naval Ships Kochi and Tabar reached New Mangalore Port on May 11 with critical medical stores."
"Both the ships, with cumulative consignment of 100 MT of Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) in five containers and 1,200 Oxygen cylinders, have departed Kuwait for India on May 6," a defence spokesperson said.
The shipment was handed over to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd authorities for further necessary action, he added.
The Navy has also chipped in the COVID battle in a big way and bringing necessary medical materials from the neighbouring countries as well.
Karnataka has put forth a demand of about 1,200 tonnes of oxygen in the wake of surging COVID cases.
There are close to six lakh active cases in the state.

Kunal Kamra moves Madras HC seeking anticipatory bail in case over remarks on Eknath Shinde
Chennai (PTI): Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, facing heat over his jokes on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, moved the Madras High Court on Friday seeking transit anticipatory bail in the matter.
Kamra submitted he hails from Tamil Nadu's Vullupuram district and feared arrest by Mumbai Police.
Twice summoned by the Mumbai police, the 36-year-old stand-up comic's caustic comments on Shinde during his latest show in Mumbai have landed him in trouble and triggered a huge row.
The controversy stems from Kamra's show at the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai's Khar, where he performed a parody song targeting Shinde. The act prompted a strong backlash from Shiv Sena supporters, who vandalised the club and the hotel in which it is located on Sunday night.
Kamra was booked by the Khar police on a complaint by Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel for allegedly making defamatory remarks against the deputy CM.
