After
setting
up
oxygen
plants
in
the
districts
of
Nellore
and
Kurnool
in
Andhra
Pradesh,
Sonu
Sood
will
now
take
up
the
initiative
to
set
up
18
oxygen
cylinders
across
other
states
in
India.
The
actor
is
aiming
to
set
up
these
plants
in
states
like
Maharashtra,
Karnataka,
Tamil
Nadu,
Punjab,
Rajasthan,
Uttar
Pradesh,
Bihar,
Madhya
Pradesh,
Uttarakhand
and
Telangana.
These
plants
will
start
functioning
from
the
month
of
July
and
will
cater
to
around
5,500
beds.
According
to
a
news
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
the
Happy
New
Year
actor
revealed
in
his
statement
saying,
"In
the
last
few
months
we
have
seen
that
the
biggest
problem
that
we
all
have
faced
is
oxygen
and
the
unavailability
of
it.
My
team
and
I
thought
about
what
we
should
do
to
eradicate
this
oxygen
problem
from
its
roots.
So,
we
decided
that
we
should
set
up
entire
oxygen
plants
in
as
many
places
as
possible."
Sonu
assured
that
these
oxygen
plants
will
strive
to
fill
in
the
scarcity
of
oxygen
for
the
deprived
section
of
the
population.
The
Simmba
actor
added,
"These
oxygen
plants
would
be
installed
mostly
in
hospitals
where
the
poor
people
are
given
free
treatment.
With
these
oxygen
plants
being
installed
our
aim
is
to
ensure
that
not
a
single
person
in
the
country
should
die
of
the
unavailability
of
a
basic
necessity
like
oxygen.
Let's
all
come
together
and
give
a
hand
to
the
needy
in
these
striving
times."
Furthermore,
Sonu
Sood
also
spoke
about
the
COVID-19
third
wave
that
people
have
been
speculating
may
arrive
by
the
end
of
this
year.
The
actor
said
that
the
availability
of
these
oxygen
plants
will
be
a
good
solution
to
the
oxygen
deprivation
amidst
some
people
and
that
one
should
not
wait
for
the
third
wave
to
be
well-equipped
when
it
comes
to
oxygen
supply.
He
said,
"This
will
solve
the
problem
of
oxygen
forever.
We
now
have
750
odd
oxygen
concentrators
which
we
are
giving
out,
and
they're
all
for
domestic
usage.
But
the
oxygen
plants
will
keep
giving
oxygen
for
years
to
come.
There
wouldn't
be
a
shortage
of
oxygen
in
these
areas
ever
again.
Why
wait
for
a
3rd
or
a
4th
wave
or
even
a
pandemic.
These
villages
will
get
a
complete
flow
of
oxygen
forever."
