Question

Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004

Role of armed force

Answer 1

An earthquake struck the Indian Ocean region, with its epicentre at Banda Aceh off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It measured a destructive 9.1 on the Richter scale. The resulting tsunami wrecked great misery along the eastern coast of India.

The Indian Navy launched two simultaneous missions, “Operation Madad” for mainland rescue operations in India and “Operation Sea Waves” for rescue operations in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. The Indian Air Force reached the islands within an hour of the tsunami hitting them. The Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard helped in relief operations as well as in search and rescue.
