Navy Will Contribute To Its Full Potential In This Difficult Time
Navy will contribute to its full potential in this difficult time: Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh.
Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh said on Wednesday that the country is possibly facing the biggest humanitarian challenge since independence due to the Corona epidemic.
He said that the Indian Navy will collectively face this crisis with full potential.
In his message to the personnel, Admiral Singh said that the Navy will step up its efforts in providing medical aid as the epidemic is spreading in rural areas and people living in these areas need help.
He said, ‘I think there is probably no one of us whose family or any of our very close has not been infected by corona or hospitalized or is still not in a bad condition or died.
‘ The naval chief said, ‘Nobody knows when this epidemic will end. But I can say with full confidence that our courage and our determination will never end.
In this crisis, we will collectively stand like a navy team and do our best for the country, navy, and our communities. ‘
