Sushmita Sen has joined in to help arrange oxygen cylinders for hospitals that are in dire need of them for COVID-19 patients. The Aarya actor had posted her thoughts as she shared an ANI tweet featuring the CEO of a Delhi hospital breaking down while talking about the shortage of oxygen. She wrote, "This is deeply heartbreaking...oxygen crisis is everywhere. I have managed to organise a few oxygen cylinders for this hospital but have no way to transport them to Delhi from Mumbai...please help me find a way."
When one of her followers suggested that she could try a courier service, Sen wrote, “Working on all options, so far no luck.. thank you for helping!” Another follower asked her that the oxygen crisis is a nationwide problem so why is she helping a hospital in Delhi, instead of a local one in Mumbai. To this, the former Miss Universe wrote, “Because mumbai still has oxygen cylinders available, that’s how I found it. Delhi needs it, especially these smaller hospitals, so help if you can.” A few hours later, Sen updated her followers with the tweet, “The said hospital has oxygen organised for now!!! It gives us more time to send the cylinders!! Thank you all soooooo much for helping create awareness & support!! deeply grateful!!! Stay good hearted…it suits you!!!” Delhi registered 26,169 new COVID-19 cases and 306 related deaths in the last 24 hours. This was the highest number of COVID-19 fatalities the national capital has registered in Delhi in a single day
