JAIPUR: The heroes of the Indian army once again to the fore as they came to lend their helping hand to flooded Jodhpur.
On requisition by the civil administration, the Indian Army immediately mobilised a flood relief column in affected areas on Wednesday to provide assistance to civilians cut off for three days without basic amenities.
A flood relief column was involved in restoring normalcy in these inundated areas by pumping out stagnant water at Roop Nagar, Jodhpur.
Despite heavy rain, the Army column quickly assessed the situation, identified low-lying areas and channelised on clogged water mitigation .
The flood relief column continued working relentlessly throughout Wednesday night and Thursday. The effort became more challenging as the efficiency was restricted due to heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
The situation has been brought under control by prompt and coordinated efforts of the Indian Army with civil authorities. The effort continues till the last report is received.
