IEB, Max Group offer 1,000 oxygen cylinders for free
The Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) and Max Group have recently undertaken an initiative to provide 1,000 oxygen-filled cylinders for free to those in dire need in the wake of an alarming surge of Covid-19 cases.
The company will provide the around Tk 3 crore required for the initiative, which was made public at the IEB's Ramna headquarters, says a press release.
Applauding the duo, chief guest Mahbubul Alam Hanif, joint general secretary of the Awami League, said he has appealed to industrialists and businesspeople to come forward.
There will be no crisis of oxygen or any other medical equipment in the country if companies extend such assistance, said Md Murad Hassan, state minister for information and broadcasting.
Max Group Chairman Ghulam Mohammed Alomgir said he was moved by recent scenes of financially solvent people in India frantically trying to secure an oxygen cylinder.
