Guwahati, June 30: The Indian Army’s Spear Corps successfully rescued 27 stranded civilians from flood-affected areas in Dhemaji district, Assam, on Monday. This operation was conducted in collaboration with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and local district administration.
According to the Army, the rescue mission took place in Arun Chapori village, where continuous rainfall and a sudden rise in water levels had submerged several villages, trapping residents.
Upon receiving reports of the emergency, Army personnel promptly arrived at the scene and initiated relief efforts despite adverse weather and challenging conditions. The stranded individuals were safely transported to secure locations.
The operation was coordinated with the NDRF and district authorities to ensure timely and organized rescue efforts. The Army teams also provided immediate relief supplies to those rescued.
Officials stated that this mission reflects the Indian Army’s preparedness and commitment to assist civil administration during natural disasters. Despite the difficult circumstances, the soldiers prioritized the safety of civilians.
The Army emphasized that such relief and rescue operations are a crucial part of their responsibilities, which include not only defending the nation’s borders but also aiding people during disasters.
The Army stated, “There are no limits to service; humanity is our greatest responsibility.”
This operation comes at a time when Assam is once again facing flooding due to heavy rainfall. According to the State Disaster Management Authority, over 45,000 people across seven districts have been affected, with Dhemaji being the most impacted.
The Army, NDRF, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and district administration are actively engaged in relief and rescue operations. Officials have indicated that relief efforts will continue until the situation normalizes.
