Cyclone Ockhi: Indian Navy rescues 55 people on Sunday, taking total to 145 as conditions remain adverse over Lakshadweep

Kochi: The Indian Navy on Sunday said 10 of its ships and eight aircraft were involved in the continuing search and rescue operations in the southeast Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep and Minicoy islands following Cyclone Ockhi. The vessels included capital ships such as Chennai and Kolkata which were carrying relief materials, a defence ministry statement said late on Sunday.

The weather conditions are still adverse at the L&M Islands,” the release read. Naval ships Chennai, Trikand and Kolkata were stationed around the Lakshadweep islands with relief materials. The ships were equipped with desalination plants and will be able to provide the islands fresh water as and when required. The total relief material carried would sustain approximately 5,000 people for over seven days. Additionally, all naval units in the vicinity of the Lakshadweep and Minicoy islands had been directed to provide fresh water in consultation with the local administration. Additional units will also be deployed to augment water supply, the release said. The other ships were continuing the search and rescue operations along the Kerala coast and around the L&M Islands in a systematic and planned manner to provide immediate aid to any person, vessel/boat in distress. “The Indian Navy is relentless in shouldering the responsibility of providing relief from this natural disaster impacting the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining Lakshadweep islands,” it said.
