Amitabh Bachchan bought 50 oxygen concentrators from Poland for relief work in India. The veteran actor also donated 20 ventilators to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). He in his blog apprise fans of his latest effort. “The general call from the places that were in need of help had been for the urgent need of oxygen concentrators. These are and were difficult to procure, and when I was unable to find an immediate source to acquire them, my friend, and the Indian Consul in Wroclaw stepped forward. They found details of a Polish company that was making them. I immediately placed an order for 50 concentrators,” he shared on his blog. "Fifty of them shall be airlifted on the 15th for Delhi, and are coming from a recognised Company in Poland, and another 150 from different manufacturing agents shall be coming in by the 23rd .. I hope that at least those locations where I have been able to construct care centres shall be able to utilise them," he said.
Discussing his contribution to the BMC, he had previously shared, “When I said I wished to donate something for the cause, the BMC told me to not give money, but to get ventilators.” Bachchan has a special connection with Poland, especially Wroclaw, a city that had honoured his late father, eminent Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In October 2020, he had shared a glimpse of a square in Wroclaw that has been named after his father. He had called it a moment of immense pride for
his family as well as for India.
