Flooding and relief operations in India

Overview

Significant flooding has impacted multiple regions in India, prompting relief and rescue operations by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

In Bihar, rising water levels and breaches along the Gandak River led to the deployment of IAF Mi-17 V5 helicopters. Operating as ‘Team Silver Falchions’, the IAF delivered 10 tonnes of essential relief materials to various areas in the Saran district. The flooding followed high water discharges from the Gandak Barrage, with the river reaching a new all-time high water level at the Bagaha gauge site.

In Chhattisgarh, flooding of the Indravati River necessitated a rescue operation near Dongaghat village. An IAF Mi-17V5 helicopter, supported by a Garud commando, rescued 12 stranded individuals from a rooftop. Local medical professionals reported an increase in patients, particularly children, suffering from fevers and colds due to exposure to floodwaters.
