Lakshadweep MP states the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard failed to respond quickly. On Saturday, Lok Sabha MP P. P. Mohammad Faizal alleged the forces failed a prompt reaction to tackle the crisis caused by Cyclone Ockhi.
MP Faizal also reported he would write to Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in this regard.
The MP was quoted saying, “We have not got adequate help from the Navy and the Coast Guard. They failed to respond promptly in the adverse situation.”
He further stated Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured him the teams of officials would be sent to the island. But the Defense spokesman has denied the allegations made by MP Faizal.
