Indian Air Force and disaster teams deploy to rescue flood victims in Madhya Pradesh

Flood scare in MP: IAF helicopters, SDRF teams deployed as Mandakini river overflows

Indian Air Force helicopters were deployed to rescue stranded people in Chitrakoot. Torrential rains caused the Mandakini river to overflow, flooding large parts of the town. Three State Disaster Response Force teams were also engaged in shifting people to safer places. A dam breach in Uttar Pradesh worsened the situation, while relief shelters were prepared. The water level in the Mandakini had started receding Saturday night after rainfall paused.
