The matter regarding a consignment of 3,000 Oxygen Concentrators lying with Customs Authorities came up in the Hon’ble Delhi High Court and the same was clarified by the Government Counsel that presently no such consignment is pending with Custom Authorities.

However, the social media has been flooded with the news that 3,000 Oxygen Concentrators are lying with Customs. We have again checked with our field formations and there is no such consignment lying with the Customs. However, since a photograph has also been put on the twitter, if anybody has information as to where it is lying, the same may be informed to us and we will take immediate action.

Customs clarification: no consignment of oxygen concentrators is pending; public urged to report confirmed locations. Government counsel clarified that, after checks with Customs and field formations, no consignment pending with Customs Authorities exists for the oxygen concentrators; social media reports alleging such custody are refuted, and the Ministry requests members of the public to provide information or evidence of any purported location so authorities may take immediate administrative action.
