Former India hockey coach Harendra Singh finds himself on a different turf in the country's battle to contain the COVID-19 pandemic -- supervising arrangements for Indian evacuees from coronavirus-struck nations as Air India's General Manager.
The former India player from Bihar is drawing from his immense coaching experience at the Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal 3 here to oversee smooth transit of people being rescued by the government.
"I am stationed here from the first flight that evacuated Indians from Wuhan, the epicentre of coronavirus. It is my duty and I am privileged to have been given this opportunity by the Air India management," Harendra, who is Air India's GM (Commercial) told PTI.
"It is a very big challenge for me and being the leader, I had to set the example for the team, groom and motivate them. I would like to congratulate all those from Air India who are associated with this mission."
"I am thankful to my family for supporting me in all my endeavours. They have never stopped me."
