“As severe weather phenomena are only to increase, each ship has an intrinsic capability of HADR (high availability disaster recovery). We are prepared for it.
“It will cover the wider Indian Ocean but there is a timeline within which you have to reach,” he said.
The search and rescue operation in Bangladesh is taking place south of Chittagong. Cyclone Mora had earlier caused havoc in Sri Lanka, killing at least 180.
“One of the rescued men had no pulse or heart beat but was revived and is currently on ventilator on board the ship,” a Navy official said.
