With the second wave proving fatal and health care battling to reach out to people in the state, FADA Maharashtra Chapter decided to make its contribution to strengthening the hands of the State Administration in combating COVID-19.
FADA State Chairperson Amar Jatin Sheth met with the Transport Commissioner Dr Avinash Dhakane, to understand how FADA members could contribute in fighting the pandemic. On his recommendation, FADA Maharashtra decided to fix the 250 oxygen tankers with GPS devices, enabling the transport department to monitor it on a single dashboard set up in Transport Commissioner’s office and monitored 24X7.
In this, MOBO was roped in as it had the necessary technological know-how and expertise to deliver the same in a time-bound manner.
FADA Maharashtra raised the required contribution of INR one million and placed the order. The oxygen tankers will start being enabled with the fitment from the week starting yesterday.
Vinkesh Gulati, President, FADA, commenting on the timely action taken by FADA members in Maharashtra under the leadership of Amar Jatin Sheth, said, “ FADA got an opportunity to strengthen the hands of Maharashtra State Administration during the second wave of this pandemic. We have tried to do our best as this is a small contribution towards enabling the transport department to monitor oxygen tankers movement on a single dashboard. This will definitely help save the lives of patients by providing them lifesaving oxygen on time. I thank both Dr Dhakane State TC – MH and FADA MH Chapter Mr Amar Sheth to make this possible.”
Amar Jatin Sheth, State Chairperson FADA, said, “This was an opportunity to contribute for the state by efficiently managing the movement of the tankers through technology.”
