Mumbai: Gulf Oil India has launched a digital film as a part of its on-going Gulf  ‘Superfleet Suraksha Bandhan’ campaign to appreciate the truck drivers who have been behind the wheels to ensure an uninterrupted supply of essentials and medical supplies.

This digital film themed around the festival of Raksha Bandhan, depicts how sometimes even loved ones need to change their outlook. The film shows how the emotional bond shared by a trucker brother and his sister comes alive when she realises the hard work he has been putting in all through the pandemic.

Truck drivers have been engaged in delivering medical supplies including oxygen tanks, cylinders, and medical aid even during the most challenging times of this pandemic, sometimes compromising their own health. When this realisation dawns on her, the truck driver’s sister ensures his safety and well-being by getting him inoculated against Covid-19 at a vaccination camp organised by Gulf Oil.

Gulf Oil India, under the SurakshaBandhan campaign, has successfully vaccinated more than 10,000 truck drivers across the country, said the brand in a media statement.

"Throughout the pandemic, our trucking community has been on the roads, risking their lives, to address the demand, supply, facilitating the efficient movement of goods, essentials and medicines,” said Gulf Oil Lubricants India, MD and CEO, Ravi Chawla. “Gulf Oil recognises the challenging job undertaken by the community, involving long hours of functioning and limited family time, to support the economy and country. With this vaccination drive, we were able to educate, inoculate a part of the trucking community and ensure safeguarding them against the novel coronavirus. We would like to thank our trucker brothers for coming out in numbers and using this opportunity to get vaccinated."
