Personally spoke to one #Oxygen supplier in Delhi. They are saying while we are getting all possible support from govt's, there is a delay of 2 hours due to highway blockades. If it wasn't there then supplies can reach faster as a detour won't be needed.

Policing is a thankless job. When protests go violent, they are blamed for not doing enough. When they try to stop violent protestors, they are blamed for using too much force. When they try to pre-control a situation (possibly due to inputs), they are told we will not follow.
