CEO of B5 Plus Ltd, Mr. Mike Mukesh Thakwani who announced this package said the company as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) geared up towards supporting the needy decided to invest much of the CSR towards this free Oxygen refilling initiative considering how crucial the fight of the COVID-19 virus has become recently.
