Answer» Hello !! here is your answer.... ✨The Indian armed forces IMMEDIATELY swung into action on a war-footing, launching "Operation Sahayata", the largest ever relief operation to be undertaken in the world. ✨A disaster CONTROL centre was set up at the air headquarters in New DELHI to coordinate the relief work. ✨The IAF spearheaded the airlifting of supplies, while the Army provided the largest chunk of manpower to supervise distribution of relief. ✨helicopters airdropped food and relief materials to far-flung areas, which had no access, by road or rail. ✨In two days, the IAF moved as many as seven IL-76, twenty-two AN-32s, five HS-748s, six Mi-8s, two Mi-17s, two Mi-26s and TWELVE Cheetah/Chetak helicopters into Bhuj & Jamnagar air bases. hope this helped you :) |
