Deonar Soc Buys O2 Cylinders, PPE Kits For Residents' Reserve

Mumbai: The farsighted members of Sai Sanskar housing society in Deonar realised the acute scarcity of oxygen cylinders and PPE kits early into the Covid-19 pandemic. The society, that has a sizeable number of senior citizens residents, decided to purchase these essential items to keep in reserve.

Society secretary Sumit Yagnick said, “We have a weekly management committee meeting on Zoom call to take stock of our preparedness for any exigency. During one such call, a committee member, Vikas, highlighted the scarcity of hospital beds, oxygen cylinders and PPE kits for Covid patients (in the city). We discussed that if any of our members faced such an exigency we should be able to provide preliminary help. So it was agreed to procure oxygen cylinders and PPE kits.”
