During the peak of COVID , Rtn Yezdi batliwala was approached by the concerned authorities at Mhaswad for assistance in purchasing an Ambulance for their Covid and Primary Health Centre. There being no such facility available the local rural population had to pay as much as Rs. 5000 to 6000 at times to take sick patients to and from distant hospitals. What was upseting was at times dead bodies were carried in garbage bins. The cost of the Ambulance was rs.7,33,976. The Mahaswadkar DCHC could only gather Rs. 1,85,000 of which Rs,75,000 was paid by our Honorary Member Rtn Vaibhav Pore in memory of his Late Father Shri Vitthal Baburao Pore.
