JNPT Initiates Free COVID-19 Vaccination Drive for Truck Drivers

To commemorate 75 years of progressive India and its glorious history, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), one of Indiaโ€™s premier container handling ports, has undertaken a slew of activities and initiatives as part of the โ€˜Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsavโ€™ celebration. In line with this, Shri Sanjay Sethi, Chairman, JNPT, in the presence of Deputy Chairman, Shri Unmesh Sharad Wagh, JNPT, launched a free COVID-19 vaccination drive at the Centralized Parking Plaza (CPP) for container truck drivers in collaboration with the โ€˜Save Life Foundationโ€™ and โ€˜Enrich Lives Foundationโ€™.

Commenting on the launch of the free COVID-19 vaccination drive, Shri Sanjay Sethi, Chairman, JNPT, said, โ€œTruck drivers have been an integral part of the maritime supply chain. Throughout the pandemic, JNPT has undertaken several measures to combat COVID-19 from the frontline, ensuring a robust EXIM trade by extending support to every element of the supply chain. This vaccination drive for truck drivers is one such important initiative under that. Besides this our tech-enabled Centralized Parking Plaza (CPP), equipped with a dormitory, canteen, hygienic toilets, vehicle repairs, and maintenance amenities, is dedicated to extending every possible assistance to truck drivers.โ€

The vaccination drive started by the JNPT Hospital earlier this year continues to gain momentum. Through this immunization drive, the JNPT Hospital has administered over 20,000 COVID-19 vaccines. Furthermore, JNPTโ€™s resolute COVID-19 Health Center (DCHC) achieved a new milestone by recording โ€œZero COVID Patientsโ€. Moreover, the Port continues to fast-track clearances for critical medical cargo essential for treating COVID-19.

With a people & port approach, JNPT consistently spreads awareness, engages with the public, and actively contributes to the nationwide โ€˜Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsavโ€™ campaign, accentuating Indiaโ€™s transformation. In line with this, JNPT plans to implement several initiatives, campaigns, and programs in the months ahead.
