The items were received by adviser to Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA) Kazheto Kinimi on behalf of the state government.

He thanked and appreciated the IAF team who under high risk conditions is continuously supporting the Nagaland government in the fight against the global pandemic.

Such pro-active preparedness and cohesive coordination and cooperation by various multiple nodal agencies was the need of the hour, considering the difficult terrain and inherent connectivity issue faced by the Naga people, Kinimi said.

He said the NSDMA has been able to take adequate targeted mitigation measures because of the support of the Centre to the state government and the Naga public’s collective efforts
