New Delhi: Asian Games Gold Medallist Boxer Dingko Singh was flown from Imphal to New Delhi by SpiceJet's air ambulance for his liver cancer treatment on Saturday. The airline provided the air ambulance service free of charge to the Padma Awardee.
Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet and President, Boxing Federation of India (BFI), said, "I am to happy share that Dingko, our champion boxer, has reached Delhi and has been taken to hospital for further treatment."
"SpiceJet is honoured to have provided its air ambulance service to our national hero and fly him to Delhi for his treatment and we wish him a speedy recovery," he added.
Boxer Dingko Singh reached the national capital on Saturday evening and headed to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in an ambulance, straight from the airport.
He was accompanied by his wife Ngangom Babai Devi.
Dingko has been undergoing treatment at the New Delhi hospital since 2017. The 41-year-old boxing champion was scheduled to undergo radiation therapy a fortnight back but could not come to Delhi because of the lockdown. So, the BFI came to his rescue by arranging a SpiceJet air ambulance.
