The Chandigarh administration on Friday said that Covid-19 patients who have been prescribed oxygen support at home will now be able to get oxygen cylinders through online e-permit.
Yashpal Garg, the nodal officer for oxygen supplies in UT, said an application for e-permit can be submitted on the Chandigarh administration’s website http://chandigarh.gov.in/health_covid19.html from 11am on May 15.
The facility has been developed with the assistance of National Informatics Centre (NIC).
The following documents are required to be uploaded at the time of making the application:

Once the application is approved, the applicant will get intimation. The approval will be valid for two days. Though the e-permit can be downloaded from the website, yet the hard copy is not required and the cylinder (maximum two) may be obtained even on the basis of the approved application number, from the following address:
