A group of NGOs has urged the State government to reconsider its order of stopping cylinder allotment to NGOs that were providing them to COVID-19 patients in home isolation or those in COVID care centres. NGO members Shubham Shelke, Surendra Angolkar, Santosh Dharekar, Shahnawaz Ali, Syed Amzad and others told journalists that the government’s move was anti-people and had to be reversed. “We have strong objections to the State government’s decision to withdraw oxygen cylinder allotment to NGOs. The government has withdrawn hundreds of cylinders given to NGOs who are fighting to save lives. On Saturday, hundreds of cylinders that were sent for refilling were returned empty,” Mr. Shelke said.More Related News
