‘Dangerous goods handling & cold chain ops require skilled manpower’

Rajen S Bhatia, Managing Director, Tulsidas Khimji said, “India’s logistics growth relies heavily on highly skilled manpower, especially in dangerous goods handling and cold-chain operations. Government agencies and industry bodies are enhancing capabilities through IATA and DGCA aligned training, digital SOPs, and specialised programmes under PMKVY and the Logistics Skill Councils. These initiatives strengthen compliance, safety, and temperature-controlled cargo integrity crucial for pharmaceuticals and perishables while underscoring that safety is paramount importance when cargo is transported by air and preparing India for the next phase of cargo expansion.”
