MUMBAI/ AMARAVATI:  Maharashtra citizens are expressing their gratitude to Andhra Pradesh Government for sending 300 ventilators to the State, which is reeling under the shortage of oxygen, and ventilators during the second wave of the Coronavirus epidemic.

Acting swiftly on the request, the AP government has sent 300 ventilators to the state. At this critical time, it will be instrumental in saving precious lives. On behalf of the citizens of the state, I heartily thank him for his swift action,’’ said Gadkari in his tweet.
