"Our objective of the visit is to make sure if the need arises, and if there is a situation in the future like other states, we are prepared to handle the situation," Sangma said.
"Hopefully, we will not have to face the situation like other states. So I have come here to visit the manufacturing unit and make sure (they face) no challenges or difficulties," he further added.
He asked the management to coordinate with the health department and the district administration for any kind of logistical support for the supply and transportation of oxygen across the state in case of any eventuality.
