Anurag Thakur Helps Two Distress Families After Receiving SOS Call from Saudi Arabia in Midnight

Most of the political leaders from several parties are getting distress calls and messages from people for help amid prevailing worrisome situation due to Covid-19. One such midnight SOS call was received by Union Minister and BJP leader Anurag Thakur at his official residence in Delhi. Thakur was clearing up some official files when his landline number started ringing at 12.30am. Due to coronavirus restrictions, his staff was working from home and even telephone operator was not there in the night. Hence, the luck was on the side of the caller, who had made a distress call. The minister himself picked up the phone and this brought a sigh of relief for the caller from Saudi Arabia and other two families in Karnataka’s Mangalore.

The caller named Prahlad Joshi from Dammam, a city in Saudi Arabia was himself shocked as he didn’t expect that minister himself will pick up the call. Explaining his entire problem in one go, he told Thakur that his family residing in Mangalore is in dire need of medical oxygen concentrator which are not available in Karnataka city and has sent six oxygen concentrators from Saudi Arabia through a flight along with a person named Irfan. Since individuals are not allowed to carry the oxygen concentrators, Irfan has got stuck at the airport.
