Operation Neer (Hindi Water") was initiated by Indian government in response to Maldives government's request for help after major fire broke out at the Male Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) generator control panel on 04 Dec 14, causing extensive damage to the cabling of the generator to the Distillation plants and disconnection of water supply. Maldives dont have its own water resources but wholly dependent on desalination plants. India sent 200 tonnes of drinking water through five IAF heavy-lift aircraft and also pressed into service naval warships to supply potable water to Male.[1]
