The Indian Navy has rescued 33 people in a major operation in Bangladesh which has been hit hard by Cyclone Mora. Indian Navy Spokesperson, Captain D.K Sharma said, Navy ship Sumitra, operating in the Northern Bay of Bengal rescued 27 people who were found adrift at sea over 100 miles away from the city of Chittagong.
He said search and rescue for more survivors is drastically hampered due to prevailing rough weather in the area.
At least six persons were killed as Cyclone Mora made landfall in Bangladesh yesterday, causing widespread destruction and rendering millions of people homeless.
