Watch: PM Modi hugs emotional ISRO chief K Sivan after Chandrayaan-2 setback

Prior to this, the Prime Minister had asked ISRO scientists not to get disheartened by the hurdles in the moon mission and asserted that there will be a "new dawn and better tomorrow".

In a video that has gone viral, PM Modi is seen hugging Sivan as the latter broke down and patted him on his back.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday consoled an emotional ISRO chief K Sivan outside the agency’s headquarters in Bengaluru hours after Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram lander lost contact with ground stations and failed to make a soft landing on the lunar surface.
