As movement of trucks remained on a standstill following the nationwide lockdown, the Indian Navy transported a shipment of 60,000 masks from the national capital to Goa on Friday.
The Navy said that the shipment of masks to offset the shortfall in Goa was stuck in Delhi as trucks could not proceed further in the current situation of lockdown. The shipment was ordered by Indian Medical Association, Goa.
"A request for facilitating transportation of the masks to Goa was made by the President, Indian Medical Association to the Indian Navy at Goa," the force said.
Immediately thereafter an Ilyushin 38SD (IL-38), a long range maritime reconnaissance aircraft, flew from INS Hansa to Palam Airport, New Delhi on Friday.
The collection of the items at Delhi was coordinated by Air Force Station Palam. After taking the shipment, the aircraft returned to Goa with the masks. IANS
