Similar position was noted in Aakash Hospital, Dwarka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court was informed that Panipat authorities were obstructing the lifting and transportation of oxygen from Air Liquide, Panipat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additional Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, Piyush Goel stated that the officials in the State of Haryana were persuaded to abide by the Allocation Order and the Order passed by Disaster Management Act on 22-04-2021. Yet, the position is unsatisfactory and obstructions appear to continue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, High Court directed the Central Government to peremptorily ensure strict compliance of the Allocation Order dated 21-04-2021, its own order passed on 22-04-2021 under the Disaster Management Act and Court\u2019s order dated 21-04-2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Authorities concerned have also been directed to ensure strict compliance with the above-stated Orders. And in case the Orders will not be complied strictly, the same would be taken very seriously since the result of non-compliance would be grave loss of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Non-Compliance will also invite action for contempt of Court and criminal and penal action under the Disaster Management Act and under the Penal Code, 1860.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Centre shall also ensure the supplies from all the oxygen-producing plants, as per the allocation order, is made and transportation takes place without any hindrance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adequate security to be provided to the lorries transporting oxygen by the Central Government and for the said purpose a special corridor to be created for the immediate transportation of the oxygen.
