The Indian Navy’s aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which is currently at the Colombo port for an exercise, has decided to deploy its helicopters for relief operations in Sri Lanka.
Amidst the severe weather conditions caused by Cyclone Ditva, the Indian warship currently anchored in Colombo has been requested for assistance, and the Indian government has agreed to it, said Defence Ministry Secretary Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuiyakontha.
