Minhaz Merchant's Iqbal Singh Chahal: Covid Warrior follows Mumbai's municipal commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, and his team through the city's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, from the first surge of cases to the vaccination drive. Based on extended interviews and official records, the book describes the ward-level war rooms, the large field hospitals built in weeks and the containment work in the dense Dharavi neighbourhood. Together these measures became known as the "Mumbai Model".
