Ever wondered how medical supplies and essentials like face masks and gloves became more and more accessible as the lockdown progressed, despite all restrictions on movement across India? Well, it is all thanks to individuals like Anshul Gupta, Project Head (Medical Supplies) and Cargo Manager and Sanskriti Yadav, Assistant Manager, Cargo, at DIAL (Delhi International Airport Limited), who rose to the call of duty against all odds.
Both Gupta and Yadav are part of Lifeline Udan, the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s Special Campaign to ensure the healthcare sector is always well-stocked with necessary COVID medical requirements and gear. In fact, DIAL has set up a COVID-19 dedicated warehouse at the airport. Spread over 4,000 sqm, here all cargo related to COVID-19 is received, stored and distributed over the country.
The two have been on duty since March 25, spending nearly 10 hours a day at the airport to coordinate with the team to ensure smooth functioning, 24x7.
The going has been tough
