As relentless rains continue to affect parts of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab, the Indian Army has launched swift and coordinated flood relief operations across multiple districts, to rescue and help affected civilians. So far, the army has rescued over 100 civilians along with extending medical aid.
“The Indian Army remains steadfast in its commitment to assist civil authorities during natural calamities, continuing its dedicated flood relief operations across affected regions of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Punjab,” it said in a statement, adding they will continue to monitor the situation closely.
In Rajasthan’s Dholpur, an Army column remains on standby, ready to respond immediately if the situation deteriorates. Likewise, a swift response was launched in Sriganganagar after a requisition was received from the Deputy Commissioner of the district. The Indian Army team mobilized there is tasked with providing technical assistance for waterlogging issues due to flood-like conditions.
Further, the civil administration has requested five pumping sets and two kilometres of hosepipe to address the situation.
Continuing similar efforts in Madhya Pradesh, Indian Army columns deployed in Guna and Shivpuri districts were derequisitioned on Saturday (August 2) following stabilisation of the situation.
Guna Superintendent of Police (SP) Ankit Soni on Wednesday (July 30) said, “A joint control room of the police and administration has been established. Teams have been formed, and around 150 people have been rescued. Two bodies have been recovered.”
Meanwhile, a flood relief column operating from Ashoknagar-Gwalior is actively conducting reconnaissance of Isagarh and Sihora areas to assess potential requirements for relief and support.
As part of its relief efforts so far, the Army has rescued over 105 civilians and medical aid has been extended to more than 300 individuals. Indian Army remains fully prepared to respond to any emergent contingencies with speed, compassion, and professionalism.
