Because they want to rule out any delay due to ohe line fault or tripping problem in case of wind storm or tree falling over tracks.
Also, mps of this tanker rake is just 65 km/h which at max can cross 70-75 km/h, so dloco can easily perform the task with out any extra time delay

Because diesel zindabad tha, zindabad hai aur zindabad rahega :p
Jk, electric loco ka shayaad availability nahi rahega as many trains are being operated towards north, same being the issue with e loco crew.
There are other issues, most notably with height of OHE and top of tanker being quite close and no earthing being done between tanker body and rails, but if that was the main issue they would have taken non electrified route outwards.

"OHE power block demaned 2.00hrs, but traffic power block given 13.05-14.35hrs for OHE height increasing for Oxygen spl passing between Niwar-Katni South, Power block cancelled at 14.50hrs. Major Section: JBP-KTE, Minor/Sec-SBD-KTES"

As mentioned above there is issue with OHE height and the risk of arcing and subsequent explosion as the tanker passes very close to overhead wire in certain areas. Having diesel loco helps in this case.
But

I still say, diesel loco zindabad hai abhi bhi :p
