Time and again, business tycoon Anand Mahindra has been on the headlines for his philanthropic nature. This time, he has come forward to solve the oxygen crisis in the country. Many people in India are now losing lives as oxygen is not reaching them at the hour of need. The initiative will cater to around seven cities in Maharashtra including Mumbai, Pune, Nasik and Nagpur. The services have been launched in Delhi too. Mahindra tweeted, “Today, Oxygen is the key to reducing mortality. The problem is not of oxygen production but its transportation from producing plants to hospitals & homes. We’re attempting to bridge this gap with “Oxygen on Wheels” a project implemented via Mahindra Logistics.”
