Chiranjeevi launches oxygen banks in Andhra Pradesh

The actor said that there should be no more deaths due to lack of oxygen. 

Actor Chiranjeevi on Wednesday launched oxygen banks in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur and Guntur districts via his charitable trust. Flagging off the initiative, Chiranjeevi said that there should be no more deaths due to lack of oxygen. 

Chiranjeevi also revealed that his son Ram Charan would work alongside him in his mission. 

“Chiranjeevi Oxygen Banks will be open to the public in Khammam, Karim Nagar and five other districts from tomorrow. No one should have trouble finding oxygen on time anymore,” read a tweet by the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust. 

Sharing the tweet, Chiranjeevi wrote, “Mission begins. Let there be no deaths due to lack of life saving oxygen (sic).”

Chiranjeevi has been leading the fight against the coronavirus pandemic from the front on behalf of the Telugu film industry. Last year, he donated Rs1 crore to the cause.

Recently, he came to the rescue of veteran Telugu actress Pavala Syamala who has been struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic.

Chiranjeevi also donated Rs2 lakh to Tamil actor Ponnambalam, who had recently undergone a kidney surgery. Ponnambalam thanked the actor for his kind gesture via a video.
