He said the ship was accorded a warm welcome by Bangladesh Navy and the oxygen plants were received by the commanding officer of BNS Patenga Navy hospital and representatives from the Dhaka Medical College hospital. ''On behalf of the Chief of Naval Staff, the Commanding Officer of the ship also called on the Commander Chittagong Naval Area, Commander BN Fleet and Chairman Chittagong Port Authority to reaffirm India's solidarity and partnership with Bangladesh,'' Commander Madhwal said.
