Kolkata: Is your near and dear one gasping for breath and you are frantically searching for oxygen to save his or her life- then call Oxygen Helpline: Nos are 8697242012 and 7439729315. A slew of young covid warriors in PPE kit would reach out to you anywhere in Kolkata with the oxygen cylinder and accessories and bring hope to your teary eyes.
In order to reach out to the hapless covid victims with oxygen, Kolkata Society For Cultural Heritage,
a social enterprise has collaborated with samaritans like I Am Kolkata from Merlin Group launched
Oxygen Helpline in Kolkata. Y-East from Techno India has also supported
this cause.
The Oxygen Helpline service by Kolkata Society For Cultural Heritage has
so far reached out to 1159 Covid patients across Kolkata and Sonarpur,
Baruipur, Madhyamgram and the Sundarbans.
“Our team of covid warriors not only have
been distributing oxygen cylinders and accessories to enable patients to breath
but also have been in touch with the patients’ families and sanitizing the
empty cylinders, refilling them and redistributing to another patients in need.
Last year also we had served as covid warriors but this year the acute shortage
of life saving oxygen cylinders have prompted us to launch this Oxygen Helpline
No. We are thankful to the State Health Department for issuing us necessary
letter for covid management for running the service on road without hassle,”
said Sourav Mukherjee, president,
Kolkata Society for Cultural Heritage.
“The second deadly Covid-19 strain choked the
lungs of Kolkata leaving thousands of people gasping for breath. Oxygen
cylinders have been the most precious object that are helping Covid victims to
survive and reach out to hospitals for treatment with the live-saving gas. But
the cylinders have become so scanty in numbers that people could hardly get it.
So we decided to extend our support to Kolkata Society for Cultural Heritage,”
said Saket Mohta, Founder of I AM
Kolkata and MD of Merlin Group.
Merlin Group also undertook sanitization drive in Charu Market and Kasba
Market recently to help the State Govt.
