Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Operation Sagar Bandhu was launched by the Government of India in late November 2025 to provide emergency Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and Search & Rescue support to Sri Lanka. The mission was initiated in response to the catastrophic impact of Cyclone Ditwah, which caused widespread flooding and landslides across the island nation.

  • Guided by India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and Vision MAHASAGAR (Maritime Aid for Humanitarian Assistance and Security in the Indian Ocean Region), India acted as the first responder.
  • The operation involved a multi-agency effort including the Indian Navy (deploying assets like INS Vikrant, INS Udaygiri, and INS Gharial), the Indian Air Force, and the NDRF.
  • India delivered over 50 tons of relief material and deployed an Engineer Task Force to restore critical infrastructure, such as the Kilinochchi Bridge.
  • The mission successfully rescued hundreds of stranded individuals, including both Sri Lankan and foreign nationals.
