New Delhi, Apr 26 (IBNS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday 'thanked' the people of India for standing beside the people of earthquake-hit Nepal and helping them at the moment of crisis.

He said: "We must thank our armed forces, NDRF teams, doctors & all those volunteers who are overcoming every obstacle to restore normalcy in Nepal.We owe a big thanks to the enthusiastic youngsters who are mobilising contributions for relief work be it cash, resources & medicines etc," he said.

"And above all, we salute the resilience of our sisters & brothers in Nepal & parts of India, for their courage in the face of disaster," he said.
