“Specialised Search and Rescue teams of @NDRFHQ are working round the clock at Nurdağı.
“Another team deployed at Antakya to augment the ongoing earthquake relief efforts.”
Bagchi also tweeted that the Indian Army’s team of medical specialists stationed in the field hospital set up in Iskenderum is working round the clock to provide relief to those injured.
India’s outreach comes as the death toll from Monday’s 7.8 Richter temblor that shook Turkey has climbed to nearly 20,000.
India has deployed six planeloads of relief and rescue material, medicines, as well as teams of specialised NDRF personnel and doctors to aid in the relief efforts.
