India extends support to Bangladesh after the nation was struck by a tragedy on Monday where a Bangladesh Air Force fighter jet struck a school campus in Dhaka’s Diabari area, killing at least 27 people, many of them young students, and injuring over 170.
On Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement confirming India’s immediate medical assistance to Bangladesh. “A team of burn-specialist doctors and nurses with necessary medical support is scheduled to visit Dhaka shortly to treat the victims,” the statement read.
The Indian team will conduct an initial assessment of the patients’ condition and provide recommendations for further treatment, including potential transfer to India for specialised care. The MEA also noted that additional medical teams may be deployed based on the findings of the preliminary assessment.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday expressed deep shock and sorrow over the tragic crash. In a post on social media platform X, PM Modi wrote, “Deeply shocked and saddened at the loss of lives, many of them young students, in a tragic air crash in Dhaka. Our hearts go out to the bereaved families. We pray for the swift recovery of those injured. India stands in solidarity with Bangladesh and is ready to extend all possible support and assistance.”
The fatal crash occurred on Monday when an F-7 BGI training jet of the Bangladesh Air Force plummeted into the Milestone School and College campus in the capital’s Diabari locality during a routine sortie. The impact triggered a massive fire and scenes of widespread panic, with terrified students and staff fleeing for safety.
Prime Minister Modi had earlier conveyed India’s readiness to assist in the rescue efforts and expressed heartfelt condolences to the people of Bangladesh. Messages of solidarity and condolence have poured in from across the globe, with India taking a lead in offering both moral and material support to its neighbour during this tragedy.
