Actor-dancer Raghav Juyal has sought help from the Central government and authorities in charge for his home state, Uttarakhand, which lacks sufficient medical facilities to fight the rising Covid-19 cases.
He posted a video appealing for help saying, "I along with Khushiyaan foundation have arranged for 1000 kg oxygen. We have received 20 concentrators from Khalsa Aid India. We are also setting up beds and other aids which are crucial. So I really appeal to support us and contribute for oxygen cylinders, concentrators. I'm giving my best with all the resources I have and whatever I can do. Your little support would really mean a lot."
He said, "The situation is very chaotic and there is no facilities available. People are dying outside hospitals, in the ambulances and car outside hospitals. There's a huge scarcity of ventilators, O2 beds, oxygen cylinders. The ratio is like 30 People are fighting for 1 ventilator. At the end of the rest 29 people don't get the facility, the situation is so worse. And only privileged people who have proper facilities and phone are able to make the arrangements and rest unprivileged people are dying. As there is no ICU and ventilators, so we really need those facilities and we are together with the government. Because in this situation we can only ask for help. They need immediate supply of all these aid from Government or Army."
