The first Oxygen Express returned to Maharashtra, four days after it started its journey.

The train carried seven tankers filled with liquid medical oxygen from Visakhapatnam.

Maharashtra is reeling under a surge in Covid-19 cases & shortages of medical oxygen.

Amid spiralling Covid cases in the country, demand for oxygen has gone through the roof.

On Friday, Maharashtra reported over 66,830 fresh cases & 773 Covid-related deaths.
