How are the floods in Assam being tackled

Detail the measures taken by NDRF to rescue the affected people in the floods in Assam.
The floods in Assam have caused immense damage throughout the state. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has been working hard to rescue the affected people and mitigate the situation. Some of the measures taken by the NDRF to rescue the affected people in the floods in Assam are:
  • The deployment of several teams of NDRF personnel in the flood-affected areas of Assam for rescue, relief, and evacuation operations.
  • The use of boats, rafts, and other specialized equipment by the NDRF to reach out to the affected areas and evacuate the stranded people.
  • Setting up of temporary medical camps to provide basic healthcare facilities to the affected people.
  • Distribution of food, water, and other essential supplies to the affected people.
  • The use of helicopters to drop relief materials in the inaccessible parts of the state.
  • Coordination with the local authorities and other agencies to ensure effective relief and rescue operations.
  • Continuous monitoring of the situation to ensure timely evacuation and rescue of people.
These measures by the NDRF have helped in minimizing the loss of life and property in the flood-affected areas of Assam. However, the situation still remains critical, and more relief and rescue operations are needed to provide aid to the affected people.
