Taking to X (formerly Twitter), CM Yogi wrote, “The feeling of welfare is inherent in the name of Shiva who wears the moon on his head. The naming of the point where Chandrayaan-3’s moon lander has landed, by the respected Prime Minister as ‘Shiv Shakti’ reveals the resolve of the ‘New India’ towards ‘world welfare’”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, earlier today, landed in Bengaluru to meet the scientists of the Indian Research and Space Organisation (ISRO) behind the successful accomplishment of India’s lunar mission.
During his address to the scientists, said that the touchdown spot of the Vikram lander on the lunar surface would be known as the ‘Shivshakti’ point while the Chandrayaan-2 Lunar landing point would be called the ‘Tiranga’ point.
The Prime Minister also declared August 23 (the day when Chandrayaan-3 became successful) as the ‘National Space Day’.
