I wonder how in Delhi’s tightest security zone, anyone could be rolling around at night distributing unsolicited oxygen cylinders to big gated & guarded embassy compounds, in the midst of a curfew/lockdown.

MEA checked with the Philippines Embassy. This was an unsolicited supply as they had no Covid cases. Clearly for cheap publicity by you know who. Giving away cylinders like this when there are people in desperate need of oxygen is simply appalling. @Jairam_Ramesh
