The first consignment of 50 oxygen concentrators I ordered and bought from Poland should be on a plane as I write, and will land in Delhi tomorrow at 6 am ... Bachchan wrote on his blog.

These will be erased by the Gurudwara Committee which I donated and inaugurated yesterday in the building of the 400-bed building. 300 running immediately, and the remaining 100 in real-time, O2 concentrators will also contribute to this facility for their discretionary use.

These are 10 litter concentrators, but research from my office tells me that 5 liters are acceptable and in demand. So I bought 50 oxygen concentrators with a capacity of 5 liters today.
Send it to us in a few days. It will be distributed to the needy in Mumbai, Bachchan shared in a new post. The 25-bed care center he donated was ready to be set up at a school in suburban Juhu, he said. All facilities are in place. The relevant OC has been received from the BMC and the fire brigade today.

Somehow by the grace of the Almighty, they come to me ... I have made no effort to collect them through campaigns or contribute to a cause I have established.
