Khattar, who is attending the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit-2024 at Gandhinagar with an eye on attracting foreign investment, said the state government will establish a joint collaboration cell for the convenience of Japanese investors. This cell will continuously engage with representatives of Japanese investors to expedite the plug-and-play model.
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.
