He also said he has too much pressure as he is running out of machines, “If anyone still needs a machine, then they will be blocked by 3 [it couldn’t be ascertained if it is am or pm]. I am out of machines, so I can’t allot the machines to even Khan Market friends. So please share this message…I have too much pressure on me.”
