We extended our gratitude to personnel of the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force and the National Disaster Relief Force, who were working around-the-clock to evacuate lakhs of people who were still trapped in flood-ravaged areas.

We knew for sure they would reach the beneficiaries and help the armed forces personnel in their gallant task of rescue and relief. We did this in Uttarakhand last year, Assam the year before, Orissa and so on.”
