‘India is now on the Moon’: PM Modi hails Chandrayaan-3’s historic landing 

Lauding India’s successful lunar mission, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the country is now on the Moon and that the success belongs to all humanity.

Addressing ISRO scientists virtually from Johannesburg, PM Modi said Chandrayaan-3’s landing on the moon is a historic moment and sounds the bugle for a developed India.

“This is a moment to cherish forever,” Modi said, noting that India became the first nation to reach the south pole of the Moon. “I may be in South Africa but my heart has always been with the Chandrayaan mission.”
