With unprecedented rains and resultant overflow of water drainage system, a number of areas in Jodhpur town got inundated. On requisition by civil administration, Indian Army immediately mobilised flood relief columns in affected areas last night to provide assistance to civilians cut – off for three days without basic amenities.
Flood relief column was involved in restoring normalcy in these inundated areas by pumping out stagnant water at Roop Nagar, Jodhpur. Despite heavy rain, the Army column quickly assessed the situation, identified low lying areas and channelised clogged water mitigating a developing unprecedented situation.
The flood relief column continued working relentlessly throughout the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. The effort became more challenging as the efficiency was restricted due to heavy downpour and thunderstorms. The situation has been brought under control by prompt and coordinated efforts of the Indian Army with civil authorities. The effort continues till the last report received.
