As the alarm bells for more heavy rains get louder, the army and the Indian Air Force braved inclement weather to further step up the relief and rescue operations today especially in the tough terrains of the floods-battered Uttarakhand.
Met office here issued a warning of heavy rainfall at isolated places in the next 48 hours.
“A series of major breakthroughs were achieved by the Army and the Indian Air Force today, catalyzing thereby, the rescue and relief operations in some of the worst flash-flood affected areas of Uttarakhand,” an official statement said. The men in olive green are losing no time in constructing new bridges and landing at inaccessible areas of the Garhwal hills. A total of 83,000 people have been evacuated so far, chief secretary Subhash Kumar said. There are only 5000-7000 stranded people at different places, he said.
