The Sarbat Da Bhalla trust run by a Dubai-based philanthropist SPS Oberoi today presented large stocks of PPE kits, masks, sanitisers and other safety equipments to Border Security Force (BSF) at the Khasa headquarter here.

Dr SPS Oberoi, who was present on the occasion said the trust was also providing ration to 60,000 poor families every month. He added that the trust had also provided safety equipment to medical employees, police personnel and others who were at the forefront of Covid.

He added that a Budget of Rs 20 crore for providing help against the disease was earmarked by the trust in first phase. He said that the equipment would help BSF as many farmers had to till their land across the fence during the current season.

The trust provided 250 PPE kits, infrared thermometers, 100 litres of sanitisers, 5,000 triple-layer face masks, 1,000 gloves and 50 face shields. Oberoi said he would continue the donations no matter the cost.
