Seetha has saved over 800 lives starting from May with her oxygen auto-rickshaw and has provided the service for free. Seetha also operates the Street Vision Charitable Trust, a non-profit organization. She arranged an auto-rickshaw via her charity, equipped it with an oxygen cylinder, and installed a flow meter. Since May 5, her ‘Oxygen Auto’ has been parked in front of RGGGH from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sarath Kumar and Mohanraj, two volunteers, assist Seetha in administering oxygen to Covid-19 patients. Any patient who requires oxygen is transported to the vehicle, where a medical team will assist them. Every day, at least 25-30 people obtain oxygen assistance from her auto-rickshaw, for which Seetha invests an average of Rs. 1,000, she claims. She spends an extra Rs. 250 for an oxygen mask that she arranges for each patient’s safety.
