The first lot of concentrator was consigned to Uday Foundation and was distributed in Delhi to those who were in maximum need. The second lot was supplied to medical institutions. They collaborated with many other NGOs for distribution in Punjab, Mumbai and Delhi.
Twinkle Khanna earlier tweeted a video of her asking people to donate as much as they can and shared the link of annada.org.
In another video earlier this week, she wrote to everyone who donated and said, “A big thank you to everyone who donated and shared our links. We now have another 100 oxygen concentrators ready to be distributed directly to hospitals.”

Earlier the duo was criticised for asking for donations by some users but Twinkle Khanna handled it well. Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have been actively participating in gathering oxygen concentrators for the hospitals and other COVID-19 relief supplies amid the pandemic.
