NDRF Leads Rescue Operations as Yamuna River Reaches Historic Highs

-

 Record-breaking floods have struck several districts along the Yamuna River as it reached a height of 208.08 meters, surpassing a 45-year-old record. This has resulted in the evacuation of over 750 individuals and 250 animals in Delhi. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has been actively engaged in rescue operations, utilizing drones, rescue boats, and public announcements to locate and save stranded individuals and animals. Meanwhile, in Himachal Pradesh, the NDRF successfully rescued 28 shepherds and trekkers who were stranded due to heavy rains, landslides, and flash floods.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast of heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh from July 14 onwards, raising concerns about further intensifying the floods. The NDRF’s swift response in both the Yamuna River flooding and the Himachal Pradesh rescue operation, in collaboration with other agencies, has been instrumental in safeguarding lives and mitigating the impact of these natural disasters. Their efforts are crucial in ensuring the safety of affected individuals and regions.

The flooding along the Yamuna River has caused widespread disruption, with record-breaking water levels. Evacuations have taken place in Delhi, and the NDRF has been at the forefront of rescue efforts, utilizing various resources and technologies. Additionally, their successful rescue operation in Himachal Pradesh has saved stranded individuals amidst challenging conditions. However, the forecast of continued heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh raises concerns about the situation’s potential escalation. The NDRF’s timely response and collaboration with other agencies remain essential for protecting lives and addressing the challenges posed by these natural disasters.
