Security guard runs the electronic generator

There is a provision of electronic generator in the district hospital, but due to the absence of an operator, the security guard present there often runs the electronic generator. In such a situation, there is often a delay in starting the generator when the power goes off. Whereas electricity is required to keep the supply of oxygen uninterrupted.
