Tezpur: In May, there was constant rainfall in the Nagaon area, water levels crossing the danger marks of the Kopili and Colon rivers, causing floods in the area. Following the SDRF, the NDRF team was sought by civilian support to mitigate the crisis. However, the situation worsened due to the inflating and inundation of the river, and the support of the Army was needed.
At that time, the Flood Relief Task Force ex 322 Air Defense Regiment and the Engineer Regiment with a section strength of 70 were tasked with providing assistance to civilian authorities. Acting with incredible speed and speed, the Joint Task Force arrived in the area and rescued isolated civilians from a submerged village to a safe haven. Necessities were distributed and medicines were given to remote villages that were cut off due to the floods. Medical assistance in first aid and treatment of illness was provided throughout the deployment process. Flood rescue operations were in good harmony with seamless coordination with civilian authorities, SDRF and NDRF teams.
Rapid and intensive rescue and rescue operations carried out by the Indian Army have saved valuable lives and provided highly needed relief to the flood-affected locals. The Indian army has caught up with its rich spirit and, not to be ashamed of its name, has once again served Yeoman for the locals of Assam.
