In response to the severe flooding in Sangli district, an Indian Army Column has actively participated in relief operations within the Suryawanshi Colony, one of the areas hardest hit by the floods. The operations involved relocating residents from low-lying, vulnerable areas to safer locations as waters continued to rise.
The Army’s relief efforts did not stop at evacuation; they also provided essential food supplies to the affected families. The distributed items included bread packets, vegetables, fruits, and Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), ensuring that those displaced by the floods had access to necessary sustenance during this critical time.
Furthermore, the Indian Army conducted door-to-door medical examinations to assess and address the health needs of the community post-evacuation. Essential medicines were distributed to prevent the outbreak of waterborne diseases, which are a common aftermath of flooding. This proactive health initiative highlights the comprehensive approach taken by the Army not only to address immediate safety concerns but also the ongoing health of the affected populations.
The Indian Army’s involvement in the Sangli floods underscores their crucial role in disaster response and management, providing timely and efficient aid to ensure both the safety and well-being of the community during natural disasters.
