In April 2021, as Covid-19 patients in Ghaziabad failed to secure hospital beds, the gurdwara in Indirapuram began to give them oxygen. The initiative began on April 23. The NGO Khalsa Help International led it. Langar is the word for the community kitchen of a gurdwara.
ThePrint reported that the oxygen langar was helping at least 400 people every day. Patients received oxygen “till hospital bed is not allotted to him or her,” The Tribune reported.
