With Tamil Nadu recording over 21,000 Covid cases a day, the need for beds and oxygen has increased exponentially. The state has 85,000 beds, of which 35,000 carry oxygen points. Chennai alone has 6,000 oxygen beds.
The biggest struggle that patients and their relatives face is finding beds. Several patients reach hospitals but cannot get beds and many are seen gasping for air in ambulances outside hospitals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India’s 140 crore citizens are no longer content with being the world’s fastest-growing economy and want the country to become the world’s third-largest economy “as soon as possible.” He said the Union Budget gives equal importance to multiple sectors and lays the groundwork for achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Highlighting Nari Shakti, Modi praised Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, calling the Budget historic for underscoring India’s commitment to women’s empowerment. “As a woman Finance Minister, Nirmala ji has set a new record by presenting the Union Budget for the ninth consecutive time,” the Prime Minister said, lauding her leadership and consistency.
