Defending its role in the rescue operations in the flood-ravaged Uttarakhand, ISRO today said the agency had played its role in the largest rescue operations in the country, saving thousands of lives.

"We did our role in the rescue operations by providing imagery and equipment," ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan told reporters here soon after the space agency launched India's first dedicated navigation satellite IRNSS-1A on board the PSLV-C22, which blasted off at 11.41 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre here last night.
