Superstar
and
filmmaker
Ajay
Devgn
is
a
man
of
few
words.
True
to
his
demeanour,
he
has
been
working
quietly
with
the
BMC
to
provide
emergency
medical
facilities
for
Mumbaikars
affected
by
COVID-19.
One
hears
that
even
as
the
BMC
commissioners,
corporators
and
others
work
tirelessly
on
ground
zero,
literally
round
the
clock
to
monitor
the
emergency
services,
Devgn
himself
has
been
working
in
close
tandem
by
doing
his
bit.
It
was
reported
that
last
year.
he
donated
ventilators
to
Dharavi,
one
of
the
areas
that
was
badly
hit
at
that
point,
helping
the
situation
to
a
great
extent.
This
time
around,
Devgn
and
a
few
of
his
esteemed
colleagues
from
the
film
fraternity
have
gone
ahead
and
helped
the
BMC
to
set
up
an
emergency
medical
unit
at
Mumbai's
Shivaji
Park.
Local
newspapers
reported
that
BMC
has
converted
Bharat
Scouts
&
Guides
Hall
at
Shivaji
Park
to
a
20-bed
COVID-19
facility
with
ventilators,
oxygen
support
and
para
monitors.
The
funds
for
this
have
been
contributed
by
Devgn
through
his
social
service
wing
NY
Foundations.
