Indian Army Rescues Over 200 From Assam Floods Under 'Operation Jal Rahat'

Indian Army personnel have successfully rescued more than 200 people stranded by rising floodwaters in Assam as part of a dedicated humanitarian effort named 'Operation Jal Rahat'. The mission targeted heavily affected areas where residents were cut off from essential services due to monsoon-induced flooding.

The operation utilized a comprehensive array of resources, including rescue boats, engineering equipment, and relief stores to navigate the submerged terrain. Medical teams were also integrated into the rescue squads to provide immediate health assessments and emergency care to those evacuated from their homes.

Civilians rescued during the operation have been moved to relief camps and safer zones where government agencies are providing food and temporary shelter. The Army continues to monitor the situation in coordination with local authorities as water levels fluctuate across the state. Source: Indian Army.
