As the city reels under the destructive second wave of the pandemic, Bollywood has stepped up to support the healthcare system. Last week, it was announced that Ajay Devgn and producer Anand Pandit have joined hands with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to build a Covid-19 facility at Shivaji Park. With the actor-producer duo contributing over Rs 1 crore, the State Bharat Scouts and Guides Hall has been converted into a 20-bed treatment facility, complete with ventilators, oxygen support and para monitors. While the care centre is up and running, Devgn and Pandit have begun scouting for locations to build similar makeshift facilities.
