A teacher died in a village in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, due to lack of treatment. This incident had such an impact on the village youth that they prepared a covid ward, which also has five beds and oxygen cylinders. Not only this, the youth of the village are collecting money, distributing medicines, oximeters and masks in the village. The case is of Khanpur village in Meerut. This village is on the outskirts of Ghaziabad, Meerut and Baghpat. A 5-bed isolation ward has been made in the government school of this village, where there is availability of oxygen. So far, 3 to 4 people of the village have been given oxygen.

Abhishek Chikara, a resident of Khanpur village in Meerut, is a mechanical engineer and does a private job in Gurgaon. He says that around 20 people died in the village due to the corona epidemic, but due to the neglect of the health department, no one could get a corona test here.

Meanwhile, Santosh Sharma, a popular English teacher of the village, died due to lack of oxygen and treatment. He was around 68 years of age. After this incident, the youth made a strategy to fight the corona and divided the sanitation system, sanitizer, oximeter and masks in the village and engaged in the cooperation of the villagers.

Divyang Santosh Sharma of Khanpur village in Meerut was 68 years old. Santosh Sharma was a teacher of English in a private school. Everyone respected him in the village. Meanwhile, the infection caught Santosh Sharma. Santosh Sharma’s family wandered in Meerut for 2 days in search of oxygen and hospital, but could not get oxygen and treatment. Santosh Sharma died on the evening of 4 May.

Abhishek Chikara says that the infection caught many people in the first week of May. This trend increased rapidly and hundreds of people of the village suffered from coronation-symptomatic fever, cough and cold. The villagers kept pleading with the officers and leaders of the health department, but no help came.

The death of Santosh Sharma, who died of sesame mole due to lack of oxygen and treatment, caused a lot of grief to his disciples and the youth of the village and he decided to change the appearance of the village and that too without any government help. Through a WhatsApp group, the youth contacted the people of the village spread across the country and abroad, asking for help and started a campaign to save the village.

Punjab CM Amarinder Singh directed the divisional commissioners of 6 worst-affected districts to tighten the strategy of micro containment zones and to ensure 100% testing.

Lockdown is not a solution, as it will lead to exodus of labourers and force them to go to states with even lesser medical facilities,” said Amarinder.

CM also urged to impose strict restrictions on dine-in facility and asked the health department to do testing of the staff in restaurants.

Amarinder Singh chaired a virtual meeting to review the situation of badly affected districts. That are Ludhiana, SAS Nagar, Jalandhar, Bathinda, Patiala and Amritsar. CM ordered to immediately strengthen the testing and containment strategy. As he expressed concern over the fact that 14 districts of the state had about 10% positivity rate. And 5 of them had bed occupancy of more than 60%.

The occupancy at level 2 is somewhere manageable but now it has reached the third level (82%). 600 beds are being added in Patiala and Amritsar and in total 2000 beds are being added in Punjab.

A 100-bedded hospital will come at Mohali and a 250-bedded is being set up near Bathinda. Bathinda DC said about setting up of a temporary hospital with 25 beds. The district is getting patients from other places as well such as Delhi and Gurgaon. Currently, there are 2 containment and 8 micro containment zones in the district. Their positivity rate stands at 16% as of April 30.

A series of tragic events is being witnessed by the India lately. First, the second wave of new deadly variant of coronavirus shook the people. Then shortage of oxygen aggravated this issue. On the top of that, a few days ago, an oxygen tank leaked outside a hospital, leaving patients deprived of it and killing 24 patients who were either oxygen-dependent or on ventilators. Now, a fire broke out in a hospital. In Maharashtra, a hospital saw a fire breaking out in the Intensive Care Unit. This fire claimed the lives of 13 coronavirus patients.

Dilip Shah, CEO of Vijay Vallabh hospital said that the fire has been extinguished and those patients who were in an immediate need of oxygen have been moved to the nearby hospitals.

A few days ago, CM Uddhav Thackeray had sent a letter to PM Modi on lack of oxygen, in which he is reading that he is facing a lot of problems. The oil refinery also produces industrial oxygen at its air-separation plant for the production of nitrogen. This oxygen can remove carbon dioxide and other gases to produce 99.9 percent pure oxygen for medical use.

These oxygen have been sent to the patients of covid. By making a slight change in these oxygen, they can be used for medical purposes. Maharashtra’s Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde has confirmed that the state has received 100 tonnes of oxygen from Reliance.
