NF's Fight Against Corona

摘要

NFR's endeavour to provide help to the common masses and to boost the economy During the Nationwide lockdown period, Railways have demonstrated agility and ingenuity to cater to completely new requirements that arose in India's fight against COVID-19. As the situation being faced is an unprecedented one, the requirements are also of a unique kind. However, there was the challenge of uninterrupted supply of essential commodities like rice, wheat, vegetables, milk, medicine, fruits, petroleum products etc. not only to the doorsteps of crores of people of our country but also to Corona Warriors like Doctor, nurse, policemen etc. so that they can effectively fight against this dark chapter of mankind. Besides, there was a challenge to provide PPE kits, blood sample etc. in the areas where these were needed. Indian Railway has played a significant role in providing its services for transportation of these essential commodities and lifesaving drugs and medical equipments even beyond this region. There are even cases when a blood sample of a patient was transported from Dibrugarh to Guwahati so that his Doctor may decide his further treatment based on Blood Report of the Guwahati based NABH accredited laboratory.
