Vadodara: A band of Indian Army honoured doctors, nurses and healthcare staff in the city on Sunday morning.
The military band played Gorkha Regiment’s martial music at the state-run SSG Hospital in the presence of hospital and healthcare staff of the city to honour them as frontline warriors in the battle against coronavirus.
The tune is usually played when soldiers go in the battlefield or during training exercise to create duty first attitude. “We had selected the tune as doctors, nurses and healthcare staff are fighting a long battle. It is a very old tune,” an officer told TOI.
Colonel Dogyel Sherpa along with major Tushar Bargali, major Abhishek Gunjan and major Deepak Khurana remained present at the programme when the 10-member band played the music.
Later, SSG Hospital’s medical superintendent Dr Rajeev Daveshwar, dean of Baroda Medical College Dr Tanuja Javadekar, Vadodara Municipal Corporation’s medical officer Dr Devesh Patel among others were felicitated on behalf of the entire medical and healthcare fraternity.
“Ever since the first Covid-19 patient was admitted, SSG Hospital has remained in the centre of the fight against coronavirus. Social distancing norms and other guidelines were maintained at the programme,” the officer added.
