The Indian Air Force (IAF) has flown 732 sorties with a flying time of over 1400 hours shuttling across the world and within the country transporting Covid relief material over the past month.

Another consignment of 10 nos. ventilator and 40 nos. life saving oxygen concentrator ferried by Air Force today from Jorhat for the State of Tripura.

All support were given by AAI to facilitate the cargo.

The acute shortage of medical oxygen had led to a major crisis across states, that have caused deaths of critical Covid patients over the past weeks.

This prompted IAF to launch a war-like mission to airlift oxygen containers.
