The central government had launched 'Operation Kaveri' to bring back stranded Indians from conflict-ridden Sudan.
Interestingly, the Choice of naming this operation as 'Operation Kaveri' has a lot of significance.
This is on the same lines as that the PM chose to name the operation in Ukraine as ‘Operation Ganga’.
The Kaveri is one of the major Indian rivers flowing through the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The river is sacred to the people of the region and is worshipped as the Goddess Kaveriamma (mother Kaveri).
The rescue operation undertaken by India when Afghanistan was under attack from the Taliban was called 'Operation Devi Shakti'.
This year, India sent rescue and relief material to an earthquake-hit Turkey and Syria and that was named ‘Operation Dost’. National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team’s canines teams went into the disaster zone to execute swift relief operations.
