Free air in Sikh temples as COVID crisis in India worsens | Coronavirus News Plague
The Gurdwaras in New Delhi and surrounding areas have developed ‘oxygen langar’ to provide free air to patients in need.
Oxygen deficiency has led to the deterioration of coronavirus in India, with hospitals being forced to rehabilitate patients in their families struggling to repair oxygen cylinders for their loved ones to help them at home.
India’s social media has a lot of stories of people dying from malnutrition, which is being sold at a lower price in black markets while the cylinder is being sold at a price three times the price.
In that case, at least two gurdwaras or Sikh temples in the city and capital of New Delhi, have developed “oxygen langar” to provide free air to needed COVID-19 patients.
Oxygen support is especially important for coronavirus patients with hypoxaemia when blood levels in the blood are very low.
Gurdwara in India’s Greater Kailash region is supplying fresh air, India reports.
Another Gurdwara in Ghaziabad outside New Delhi has set up an indoor facility where about 80 people can take in air at one time.
The gurdwaras have also set up facilities to help people with shortness of breath and other medical problems.
Sikh temples in the city and other parts of India have also developed ways to provide free food to people living with COVID-19.
🚨 Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Lajpat Nagar 1, Delhi, will start refilling the Oxygen cylinders at 11:30 pm tonight. Please share with those who want to be added.
Guaranteed 11pm on April 29…
