A Powerlifter From Delhi Set Up A COVID Care Centre To Help Patients During Second Wave

To help people of Northwest Delhi, Sachin Sharma set up a COVID care centre equipped with all necessary facilities to help to COVID-19 patients

Powerlifters are used to lifting very heavy weights, but Sachin Sharma decided to shoulder something far more heavy - the responsibility of helping people through the deadly second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Powerlifter Sachin Sharma lifts weights for both pleasure and for sport. But in Northwest Delhi's Rohini, Sachin has made his mark for an entirely different reason. A businessman by profession, Sachin along with his friends made a COVID Care Centre within his apartment complex, New Saraswati Apartments, so that it can be put to good use and can help people in need. The COVID care is accessible to all 600 residents of his society. The centre is also equipped with COVID care essentials like oxygen support and medicines. Talking about his initiative, powerlifter Sachin Sharma said, “The situation in the country was really bad when the second wave of COVID-19 hit all of us and Delhi was in utter chaos. At that moment, I did not feel like sitting at home, there was a fire in my heart that I have to do something. I am not a government official that I could do anything. So, I started helping people with whatever resources and money I had. The most important thing was that people were not getting COVID care centres, they were unable to get something as basic as an oxygen support, so I decided to help people in need via my COVID care centre, which was equipped with all the essential things.” Sachin Sharma did not just help the residents of his neighbourhood but also took care of the most vulnerable people outside his society by arranging food for them every single day.
