India is battling a health crisis unlike anything seen before. The massive surge in COVID-19 cases has left the country reeling and gasping for breath as hospitals remain overwhelmed.  

With an increased shortage of medical oxygen, hospital beds and the anti-viral drug Remdesivir used in the treatment of coronavirus, the healthcare system is barely able to cope up with the rising caseload.

At such a time, good samaritans are keeping the morale high as they are selflessly working to ensure they provide assistance in any way they could. Some are going out of their way to make a difference and that stands right for Mumbai’s Shahnawaz Sheikh.

Known as the ‘Oxygen Man’ in his locality of Malad, he has been working tirelessly to help make the supply of oxygen available to patients through just a phone call. Working with a team, Shahnawaz has also set up a ‘control room’ to streamline the efforts, India.com reported .

The party also registered a good showing in Amravati, Solapur and Pune.

The Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has entered the Brihanmumbai Corporation for the first time with two members, with Gulnaaz Salim Qureshi winning from Ward number 92 and Shahnawaz Sheikh from Ward 145. Apart from the Mumbai civic polls, AIMIM also registered a strong showing in the Amravati and Solapur, winning ten seats each in the civic bodies.

The party also had winning candidates in Pune, Akola and Thane.

Hyderabad-based Owaisi conducted 32 rallies in 20 days. “Five candidates of MIM won 22,000 votes in Byculla, so the assembly constituency votes are matched. But the Muslim vote bifurcation happened between Samajwadi Party and Congress, and that helped the Shiv Sena and BJP to win,” said Waris Pathan, the party’s MLA from Byculla.

But Prakash Akolkar, Political Editor, Sakaal said that, “The voting in Mumbai has proved that Muslim voters doesn’t vote in a set pattern as per the orders of religious leaders. They have voted strategically.”
