[BITList] We Salute the Indian Military Forces.

We Salute Indian Army 

Indian army, airforce and paramilitary troups have done a commentable Job in rescuing more than 80,000 People. This was one of the worst disasters the world has seen at such High altitude and treacherous terrain. It is their dedication and love for the country that has made this rescue possible. With no one to guide them or no idea of the landscape made this their most dangerous operation as there is no place to land even helicopters

Kudos to Squadren Leader Radhakrishnan Nair of Indian Air Force, Lt General Anil Chait for coordinating such a task in a place where they have no previous experience and it was like we are in war with some unknown enmey

This was a tragedy the likes of which has never before been witnessed by any of the armed service personal or has seen in their whole service life.
