Gurugram, May 13 (IANS) To ensure proper delivery of oxygen cylinders to the Covid patients at their doorsteps, the Gurugram District Magistrate has issued orders to fix the rate of cylinders. Now, a small cylinder (B type) will cost Rs 80, big cylinder (D type) will cost Rs 250, while the delivery charge will be Rs 100.An individual ordering the B-type small cylinder will have to pay Rs 180 (including the delivery charge) and anyone who gets D-type big cylinder shipped will have to pay Rs 350.
