A new oxygen generation plant with the capacity to generate 400 litres oxygen per minute has been inaugurated by Lt Gen Tarun Kumar Aich, the GOC of Trishakti Corps based in Sukna on the outskirts of Siliguri, at the base hospital in Bengdubi near Bagdogra.
The plant will generate oxygen directly from the atmosphere and augment the medical oxygen generation capacity.
It can fill 45 to 50 cylinders per day, army sources said.
