India is facing a shortage of oxygen supply, hospitalbeds, and other medical facilities. Amid the scarcity of medical supplies,patients continue to struggle for every single breath. Following noavailability of beds in hospitals and lack of oxygen cylinders, Sikhcommunities took an initiative and started providing oxygen cylinders in carsin various parts of the country.
The religious community is continuously serving the nationand humanity as well by setting up camps and oxygen langars outside gurudwarasand streets. Recently, Khalsa Aid which is an International NGO has alsostepped forward and provided India with oxygen concentrators. The manager ofthe NGO said that Delhi will be given priority as it is hit worst.
