INS Trikand played a critical humanitarian role by responding to a distress call in the Arabian Sea and delivering medical assistance to a Pakistani sailor who had suffered severe hand injuries and significant blood loss while repairing an Iranian dhow engine. The naval crew, including a medical team and MARCOS personnel, conducted a complicated three-hour surgical procedure on board the vessel, ultimately saving the sailor’s fingers. This mission not only showcased the Indian Navy’s operational readiness but also highlighted its commitment to humanitarian values and regional maritime cooperation, regardless of national boundaries.
