Troops from the Indian Army’s Spear Head Division, working with the Spear Corps, saved 27 stranded civilians in Assam’s Dhemaji district during a flood rescue operation. The mission, conducted in collaboration with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and local authorities, took place at Arun Chapori village following heavy rainfall and rising water levels that left many residents isolated. Despite challenging weather and terrain conditions, the Army personnel swiftly evacuated the trapped individuals to safety.
The rescue efforts, carried out in coordination with the NDRF and district officials, were executed systematically and promptly to ensure the well-being of the affected civilians. Following the successful evacuation, the Army teams provided immediate relief to the rescued individuals, showcasing the military’s operational readiness and commitment to assisting during natural calamities.
Emphasizing the importance of humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations, the Indian Army reiterated its dedication to aiding civil authorities in times of crisis. The troops’ efficient execution of the rescue mission, with a focus on civilian safety, underscores the Army’s role beyond national defense in supporting communities during emergencies.
Amid ongoing floods in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, the Assam State Disaster Management Authority reported over 45,000 people affected across seven districts, with Dhemaji facing the most severe impact. Collaborative efforts involving the Army, NDRF, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and local administration are ongoing to rescue stranded individuals and provide essential aid in the flood-affected regions.
The Indian Army remains prepared to respond to further emergencies and will continue to extend support to the affected population and civil authorities until the flood situation improves.
