India's commitment to supporting Sri Lanka in the wake of Cyclone Ditwah has seen significant progress, with the Assistant High Commission in Kandy distributing dry ration packets to 86 affected families. The aid was part of Operation Sagar Bandhu, a relief initiative aimed at providing assistance to those in need. A post on X from the Assistant High Commission highlighted the efforts of AHC Saranya VS, who distributed the dry ration packets in the presence of local officials and Hon. Members of Parliament. This gesture reflects India's continued support for Sri Lanka as it rebuilds and moves forward. In a separate development, the Indian Army's 60 Parachute Field Hospital was formally commended for its exceptional humanitarian impact and professional excellence in the wake of the cyclone. The medical team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Jagneet Gill, provided critical medical care to over 7,000 civilians in the cyclone-affected Mahiyanganaya area. The team's rapid response and sustained medical support brought relief to communities struggling with injuries and limited access to healthcare services. In recognition of their service, a token of appreciation was presented to the medical team from the Sri Lankan Army. The event underscored the strong bonds of friendship and cooperation between India and Sri Lanka, highlighting the close collaboration between their armies and reaffirming their shared commitment to strengthening military-to-military ties and enhancing cooperation in humanitarian assistance and disaster response.
