    Iqbal Singh Chahal, I.A.S., Municipal Commissioner of the Municipal 
Corporation of Greater Mumbai, has become the first Indian bureaucrat to be 
recognised and receive global acknowledgment for his contribution in 
controlling the novel coronavirus infection in India's financial capital and 
for working to 'flatten the curve' in congested areas of the city, including 
Asia's biggest slum Dharavi.


    The 1989-batch Maharashtra cadre officer - with 3 decades of rich and 
diverse experience with the Government of India and the Government of 
Maharashtra - has been conferred the top 'Covid Crusader Award-2020' by the 
Indo American Chamber of Commerce(IACC) in the Indian Bureaucrats Category.

    The IACC, established in 1968, is the apex bi-lateral Chamber synergizing 
India-US Economic Engagement. The award was instituted by the IACC and the US 
Consulate in Mumbai. The award was conferred by the Hon. Maharashtra Governor 
Bhagat Singh Koshyari at a virtual ceremony. 

    "It is my honour and privilege to receive this award and I accept this 
recognition with a sense of great humility. I am grateful to the Indo American 
Chamber of Commerce. I am also thankful to the jury. The 4 pillars of our 
Covid-19 fight namely testing, ambulances, patient management, hospital 
management, have all been put on auto pilot. I am sure the other nominees are 
equally competent and deserving and they are winners in their own right," 
Chahal said in his acceptance address.

    "It is a matter of great pride that a civic chief from Maharashtra has 
received global recognition and I congratulate Chahal for receiving this 
prestigious global award for his dedicated, focused  and relentless crusade 
against the novel coronavirus which has disrupted normal life as we know it. I 
wish him the very best in his on-going efforts to tackle this pandemic," said
