Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has sent oxygen concentrators to Amethi, his former constituency in Uttar Pradesh, and will also organise a sanitation campaign in the district, a party official said today.
District Congress president Pradeep Singhal said 10,000 litres of sanitisers will soon be arriving in Amethi and teams have been formed to carry out the drive amid the second wave of COVID-19.
Mr Singhal added that the former Congress president had already sent five oxygen concentrators and 20 oxygen cylinders to the district on May 21 while 15 more concentrators were dispatched on Tuesday.
Mr Gandhi is currently the Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad in Kerala.
