Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed profound sadness over the destruction caused by Cyclone Chido in Mayotte, France. In a heartfelt message, he stated, “Deeply saddened by the devastation caused by Cyclone Chido in Mayotte, France.”
Cyclone Chido, the most intense storm to strike Mayotte in nearly a century, has resulted in significant loss of life and widespread damage. Authorities report that at least 22 people have been confirmed dead, with over 1,400 injured. The cyclone’s impact has left many areas inaccessible, and the death toll is expected to rise as more information becomes available.
In response to the crisis, the French government has implemented an overnight curfew to prevent looting and maintain order. Additionally, President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to visit Mayotte in the coming days to assess the situation and provide support.
The international community is rallying to provide aid and support to the affected region. The French military is delivering daily supplies, including food, water, and medical assistance, to the island.
Prime Minister Modi’s message underscores India’s solidarity with France during this challenging time. His expression of sympathy reflects the global concern for the well-being of the people of Mayotte and the broader impact of natural disasters.
