Man Carries Oxygen Cylinder To Gwalior Public Hearing Over Father
Man Carries Oxygen Cylinder To Gwalior Public Hearing As Father Remains On Support, Says ‘Police Action Also On Ventilator’ · freepressjournal.in

A man in the city of Gwalior went to a public meeting carrying a big oxygen tank.

The tank helps people breathe, and he carried it as a sign.

His father works for the electricity department, fixing power lines and equipment.

While his father was working at a power station, there was a sudden explosion that hurt him very badly.

For four months now, he has needed oxygen to help him breathe in the hospital.

The family believes the accident happened because some electricity department workers were careless.

Even though they complained many times, nobody has been arrested or punished yet.

The son said even the police seem to be moving as slowly as someone on oxygen support.

He brought the oxygen tank to the meeting so everyone could see how serious the problem is.

The police heard his complaint and said they will investigate the matter.
