PM Modi spoke to Sireesha Gajani, the loco pilot of the all-women Oxygen Express train, which had transported the crucial medical oxygen needed during the surge of COVID-19 cases in the second wave of the virus. Commending the duty done by Sireesha, PM said that women like her played a key role in the fight against COVID-19. In his conversation with Sireesha, PM asked her about the inspiration for doing her job. “I got the motivation to work from my parents. They encouraged me,” she said.
