New Delhi (08.05.2021): The Supreme Court on Saturday set up a 12-member National Task Force (NTF) to formulate a methodology for the scientific allocation of oxygen to the States and UTs. Reportedly, the NTF will also look into aspects of the allocation of liquid medical oxygen (LMO).

The NTF led by Dr. Bhabatosh Biswas (Ex-VC, West Bengal University of Health Sciences) will also suggest measures to ensure similarly rational and equitable availability of medicines needed to treat COVID-19.

The 12-member National Task Force consists of 10 noted doctors and scientists. Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan (IAS:1987:BH) has been made Secretary and Cabinet Secretary or his nominee Officer as Convener of the NTF.
