Chinu Kwatra, who has been distributing oxygen cylinders to the needy has taken up the initiative to supply oxygen cylinders to Delhi amid the shortage in the national capital in the wake of the second wave of Covid-19 infections.

Kwatra through an initiative called 'Oxygen Seva On The Wheels Mumbai To Delhi' in collaboration with actor Raveena Tandon dispatched the first lot of cylinders to the national capital. According to a tweet posted by Kwatra, the first lot of 100 oxygen cylinders donated by Raveena Tandon is on it's way to Delhi. Tandon is sending oxygen cylinders through her non-profit organisation, Rudra Foundation to the Capital.

Tandon said they are reaching out to those who are well-off for funding, and acknowledges the cooperation of Chintu Kwatra and Khushiyan Foundation.

"Just look around you, how can what's happening not need you to do something, instead of just sitting and tweeting about it. As you can see, Delhi is almost gasping for breath, and this is the initiative a few likeminded people along with me decided to take up," Raveena Tandon told IANS.
