Noida: Officials from the Noida Authority on Monday held a virtual meeting with key office bearers of residents` welfare associations (RWAs) and apartment owners’ associations (AOAs) to form a mechanism to help Covid patients in home isolation.

The Authority asked the residents’ groups to arrange for oxygen cylinders and said that it will refill them.

However, requests of only those RWAs and AOAs will be entertained who have already set up a common facility for Covid patients.
 
Yogendra Sharma, president of the federation of RWAs in Noida, said: “The Authority has given us a commitment to provide us refilled and loaded cylinders.

Some sectors already have facilities equipped with cylinders.

We have asked other RWAs to arrange for empty cylinders so that demand of the critical patients can be met at the earliest.” The cylinders will be deployed in the 50-bed facility that is being given shape by the Authority at the indoor shooting range in Sector 21A.

The remaining will be diverted to the hospitals.

Officer on special duty Santosh Upadhyay has been coordinating with the key office-bearers.
