Sohan Singh Aitiana on Sunday sent two trained drivers with empty oxygen tanker trucks from Calcutta to Reliance’s Jamnagar plant.
It will take six to seven days for both the drivers to bring back the gas for supply to hospitals in Calcutta.
Aitiana, president, Bulk LPG Transport Contractors Association, East India, said he usually deals with transport of LPG. However, the Bengal government sought his help for deputing drivers for oxygen. The state government does not have adequate trained drivers to do this job.
“The drivers of oxygen tanker trucks are highly trained drivers. They travel long distances. Since they have to deliver this life supporting gas at the earliest, they work tirelessly. Now their work pressure is much higher,” Aitiana said.

(Bloomberg) India’s deadly second Covid-19 wave has brought an abrupt halt to its nascent recovery from the pandemic, with the resurgence expected to drag on fuel demand for weeks in a setback for the global oil market.
The combined consumption of diesel and gasoline in April is poised to plunge by as much as 20% from a month earlier due to renewed restrictions, including a week-long lockdown in the capital New Delhi, according to officials from top refiners and fuel retailers. While major oil processors were still buying crude recently, there are signs starting to emerge that refining operations will likely need to be scaled back to adjust for plummeting demand.
