Mumbai: In his efforts for coronavirus, Bharatiya Janata Party MP and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir has promised to allocate an additional Rs 50 lakh from his MPLAD fund to the Delhi government.
“Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has said that funds are needed to meet the growing demand for medical devices in many government schools in Delhi. In addition to Rs 50 lakh which I had pledged two weeks ago, I would further like to pledge Rs 50 lakh from my MPLAD to your kind office with the hope that the said amount would be useful in the procurement of equipment for medical staff as well as treatment of COVID-19 patients,” the East Delhi MP said in a letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
