Indian Navy’s INS Shivalik swiftly responds to an alert of a medical emergency by FV Al Arifi
The Indian Navy deployed in the Gulf of Aden rendered medical assistance to an Iranian fishing vessel (FV) with 18 Pakistani crew members on board, an official said on Wednesday.
Responding swiftly to an alert of a medical emergency by FV Al Arifi, carrying 18 Pakistani crew, the INS Shivalik Mission provided specialist medical advice and critical medicines to the distressed crew, the official said.
INS Shivalik is deployed in the region in consonance with the Indian Navy’s Maritime Security Operations mandate under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region).
Earlier this year, the Navy also responded swiftly against the hijacking attempts in the Arabian Sea.
In January the Indian Navy thwarted the hijacking of a Sri Lankan fishing vessel. The Seychelles Defence Forces and the Sri Lanka Navy successfully carried out the operation. The joint team rescued the hijacked vessel.
