Having started a slew of initiatives to help the community fight the virus, The Bengal Association is now working on augmenting some of them
When 63-year-old Timir Bhattacharya tested COVID-positive in April, his daughters, who were not staying with him, got anxious. Cases were on the rise in Chennai and before there was a need for an oxygen cylinder, they procured one for their dad as a precautionary measure. “Thankfully, my oxygen levels did not go below 90 and I did not have to use the equipment,” says Bhattacharya, a resident of Chembarambakkam. Bhattacharya did not want to keep the 30-litre cylinder that came with a spanner, mask and oxygen flow meter unutilised. He donated it to The Bengal Association Trust that has been running a raft of “COVID Response” initiatives to help the community as well as those in utmost need.More Related News
