Update (and VERY IMPORTANT):

Been checking on this situation of Delhi Police calling volunteers sharing resources/leads & 1 thing came up:

If you are aware that someone is selling medicines/oxygen in black/higher prices, DO NOT SHARE OR AMPLIFY THOSE LEADS WITH PEOPLE.

(1/3)

Police have called volunteers in some cases where a patient’s family were told that medicine/oxygen is available at XYZ place for higher prices & they complained.

Do NOT amplify any leads that you are aware are black marketing. No matter how desperate the case is.

(2/3)

Also, if you have confirmed info about someone selling oxygen/medicines in black at inflated prices, record those numbers and inform the police immediately.

Hoarders & black marketers are a cancer to society right now. Don’t enable them & ensure they’re brought to justice

(3/3)

Note: I’m nobody to advise patients or their families on what they should/shouldn’t do in a desperate situation especially when the system has failed.

This PSA is ONLY for volunteers who are doing a fantastic job, can be vulnerable & about keeping them out of any trouble.
