New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the role of the armed forces in the fight against COVID-19.

Referring to a write up by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh titled “Fighting the Invisible Enemy: MoD’s Response on COVID-19 Surge”, the Prime Minister said in a tweet: 'Jal', 'Thal' and 'Nabh'...our armed forces have left no stone unturned in strengthening the fight against COVID-19.”

In his write-up, Singh said: "Along with the efforts put together by the scientific community, health professionals, civil administration,  the Armed Forces too have pitched in this battle against an invisible yet deadly enemy."

"Mobilisation of additional health professionals, setting up of new COVID facilities, deployment of IAF transport aircraft and IN Ships to provide logistic support to facilitate the supply of oxygen from friendly foreign countries and within the country and setting up of new oxygen plants are some of the ongoing efforts of the Ministry of Defence," he added.
