The oxygen centre of Gurgaon-based NGO, which was helping people with medical oxygen cylinders and refills, was vandalized by some unidentified people.
NGO Hemkunt Foundation’s director, Harteerath Singh, alleged that beds were damaged and tents and banners were torn down by some “goons”. Singh said he has been receiving threats for some time and that they are now looking for an alternate space at or near City Centre, Gurgaon.
“Our O2 Centre at Gurgaon was destroyed forcefully today and our belongings were damanged. To continue helping everyone in need, we need access to 20,000 sq. ft. land at or near the City Centre of Gurgaon. Please help us spread the word #COVID19India,” the NGO tweeted on Thursday.
@mlkhattar @cmohry @gurgaonpolice hope stern action is taken against the culprits who did this, during the pandemic the Oxygen centre was a saviour and they need all protection and help #hemkuntfoundation #Gurugram https://t.co/Yl6A1kbE6H
