Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 77th episode of his monthly radio programme "Mann Ki Baat" talked about the two cyclones -- Cyclone Tauktae and Cyclone Yaas -- that have affected the country in recent days and said he "salutes" those who have taken part in rescue and relief efforts during the disasters.
"In the last ten days the western and eastern coast saw two cyclones," PM Modi said. "My thoughts are with those affected due to the recent cyclones."
The programme is being broadcast on the All India Radio and Doordarshan and also on the AIR News website and newsonair Mobile App. The radio programme comes on the day when PM Modi-led BJP government at the centre completes 7 years in power.
