Meanwhile, earlier on Friday (Aug 29), the Indian Air Force (IAF) intensified its flood relief and rescue operations in Northern India with a primary focus on the severely affected Jammu and Punjab regions, said the Ministry of Defence. Planes of the Indian Air Force, including Mi-17 and Chinook helicopters, have conducted more than 55 sorties to extract stranded civilians, including personnel from the Indian Army and Border Security Force. The operations were conducted in the inundated areas in Dera Baba Nanak, Pathankot, and Akhnoor sectors.
It added that Transport aircraft (C-130) have been deployed to facilitate the rapid movement of specialised NDRF teams into the affected zones and that the "operations have enabled the rescue of 215 individuals and delivered 7,300 kgs of essential relief material in the affected areas in the past three days."
