In a prompt and coordinated response to the severe flooding affecting Khadki Village, the Indian Army has immediately launched humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations following an urgent request from the District Magistrate of Ahilyanagar. Situated approximately 20 kilometers from the Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACC&S), Khadki Village has been significantly impacted by continuous heavy rainfall, resulting in waist-high water levels that have trapped many residents.
Responding swiftly to the crisis, a relief column from ACC&S was mobilized, including a specialized medical team and an engineering detachment. This team reached the village at 5:35 PM and quickly coordinated efforts with local civil authorities to assess and address the situation in the most severely affected areas. By 5:50 PM, rescue and relief operations were underway, prioritizing the evacuation of stranded individuals and providing essential medical assistance on-site.
The Indian Army’s deployment signifies its committed role in assisting civil authorities during natural disasters. Personnel are working tirelessly, day and night, to guarantee the safety and well-being of local residents, showcasing effective collaboration between military and civilian agencies.
This operation is a testament to the Army’s readiness and rapid response capabilities in times of emergencies, especially in rural and remote regions, where access can be challenging during such natural disasters. The relief efforts in Khadki Village reflect the Indian Army’s broader mandate to not only serve in defense but also to step in during crises to meet humanitarian needs.
