Brigadier General Wais Waheed, Commandant of the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) Marine Corps, has said his nation  sought assistance from the National Cadet Corps (NCC) India for equipment.

Brigadier General Wais Waheed was quoted as saying by ANI that the new proposal will be sent to India and they will look into it. Brigadier General Wais Waheed and Lieutenant General Gurbirpal Singh, AVSM, VSM, DG NCC on Thursday participated in the meeting at the Manekshaw Centre in Delhi.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Brigadier General Wais Waheed said, “In fact, Maldives being a country which we have archipelago nature disaster…So, if we …in dealing with incidents with collaboration with us MNPF, that would be a false multiplier for us. So, that’s an idea in which we would like to have NCC more active in operations for disaster management.”

He further said, “All those equipments which the Indian NCC uses, that’s the model that we also look into us and similar way we also get trained. So, being a country which has limited resources, I seek assistance again from the NCC India to get any equipment that they can provide us. The new proposal will be sent to them and they will look it and find it.”
