Recognize the contribution of my colleague, @MOS_MEA whose presence on the ground was a source of strength and reassurance."The EAM also recognised the contribution of everyone involved in the rescue operation of Indians stranded in Sudan."Applaud the spirit, perseverance and courage of all those involved in #OperationKaveri.
