An oxygen concentrator from a Bengaluru Indigo flight dispatched for a Covid-infected senior citizen in New Delhi went missing on Monday. In a bizarre turn of events, it was found with the Chennai Super Kings IPL team two days later. The concentrator finally reached the recipient on Wednesday morning.
According to The New Indian Express, Anwar bought an oxygen concentrator from Bengaluru for his 68-year-old father A Ansari who has been infected by Coronavirus in New Delhi. Anwar sent it as checked-in baggage on Flight 6E 5161 in which he travelled on April 26.

Several leading brands have replaced upfront brand promotions to escalate Covid-19 protocols in advertising on their social media handles, driven by the need to post sensitive content at a time when the second wave of infections is raging across the country.
Snacks and beverages maker PepsiCo’s top post on its Instagram page - #MaskOnSwagOn – twins the importance of masking with its cola brand’s ‘swag’ tagline. The detailed post though makes no direct reference to brand Pepsi.
“Given the current challenging times, most consumer brands see it as their responsibility to spread positivity among consumers,” a PepsiCo India spokesperson said. “Pepsi continues to use its digital assets to share messages around social distancing during festivals, encouraging people to stay at home and also asking consumers to keep patience in these difficult times.”

Even before the IPL was scheduled to begin, there has been a debate going on for quite a while now that discusses whether it should have been conducted this year at all.
The main reason for this is the rising COVID19 cases. Most of the country has been forced into partial lockdowns and curfews, while the ones who are affected are scrambling all around looking for hospital beds, injections, medicines, and oxygen.
Amidst this, a lot of users on Twitter are arguing if it is ethical to have these matches in Delhi while the rest of the city struggles to cope with the ruins of COVID19.
