Many people have lauded the efforts of the Army. "They are not for war. But to protect own country people and every other country in need. Big Kudos to the team. #OperationDost" said a user. "Humanity is the biggest Religion and Truth in the world, and Core of Spirit of Indian Culture," said a second person.
The Indian Army has sent medical supplies, a mobile hospital, medical professions and search-and-rescue teams to dig through the rubble and find survivors, as a part of 'Operation Dost'. The photographs of the Indian Army building the hospital and then treating residents in the quake-hit region were shared by the Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar on Twitter.
