Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh on Thursday highlighted the force’s role in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, saying the IAF has consistently extended support both within the country and abroad.

Speaking at the Indian Air Force Day celebrations at Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, Singh said the IAF’s humanitarian work reflects the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, or the belief that the world is one family.
