Why was it named Operation Kaveri?
The Government of India has launched Operation Kaveri for the evacuation of Indians from Sudan. Earlier it was named Operation Ganga for the safe evacuation of people from Ukraine. There is also a major reason behind the naming of Operation Kaveri. The Kaveri River flows through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in South India. The people here worship it. The Government of India chose the name of this operation because the way Indian rivers reach their destination despite all the problems, similarly this operation will also rescue people and bring them to India.
