Red Volunteers members transport an oxygen cylinder in Tollygunge (Subir Halder)
Seventy-year-old Shaktimani Chatterjee, was gasping for breath. Her oxygen level had dipped to 73. Her husband, also a Covid patient, dialed a doctor-friend, who, unable to help, reached out to the Red Volunteers (RV). In less than an hour, four boys were at their door with a 50 litre oxygen cylinder. Since that day, the elderly couple has been getting medicines, oxygen, home-cooked food and even someone to baby-sit their grand-daughter. In Bengal, there are countless examples like this one where timely intervention by the RV has either saved lives or was responsible for a dignified send off for the dead.
