The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully carried out a rescue mission, named “Operation Kaveri,” in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The mission was launched to evacuate Indian nationals stranded in Jeddah due to the worsening security situation in the country.
A C-130J aircraft carrying 40 passengers, including women and children, took off from Jeddah and landed safely in Delhi. The passengers expressed their gratitude to the IAF for the timely rescue operation.
The rescue mission was launched after the Indian government received multiple requests for assistance from Indian nationals in Jeddah. The IAF immediately dispatched a team of personnel to Jeddah to assess the situation and coordinate with the Indian embassy.
The team worked around the clock to ensure the safe evacuation of Indian nationals. The IAF also worked closely with the Saudi authorities to ensure the smooth passage of the aircraft.
The operation was not without challenges. The worsening security situation in Jeddah made it difficult for the IAF team to assess the situation on the ground. Additionally, the aircraft had to navigate through adverse weather conditions to reach its destination.
Despite these challenges, the IAF successfully carried out the mission, highlighting its capabilities in conducting rescue operations in challenging situations. The Indian government has commended the IAF for its swift action and successful execution of the rescue mission.
The successful rescue operation is a testament to the strong relationship between India and Saudi Arabia. The Indian government has expressed its appreciation to the Saudi authorities for their assistance in ensuring the safe passage of the aircraft.
In conclusion, “Operation Kaveri” showcases the IAF’s ability to conduct successful rescue missions in challenging situations. The Indian government and the Indian nationals rescued from Jeddah are grateful to the IAF for their timely assistance.
