Operation Dost: You have done great service to humanity, says PM Modi to rescue teams

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today interacted with relief and rescue teams involved in 'Operation Dost' in Türkey and Syria and lauded their efforts.   

Addressing the personnel who had returned from quake-hit Turkiye, Modi said, "You have done great service to humanity and made India proud." A total of three NDRF teams were sent to the



quake-affected country on February 7 following Prime Minister Modi's directive to offer all possible assistance to that country.  

India launched 'Operation Dost' to extend assistance to Turkiye as well as Syria after various parts of the two countries were hit by a devastating earthquake on February 6 that has killed over 30,000 people.
