In consonance with its firm resolve to mitigate the hardships felt by the populace during times of natural disaster, the Indian Army prepared itself to provide succor to the locals post the landfall of the fierce cyclone Biparjoy in Gujarat.
The flood relief columns have been rehearsed and kept ready at Bhuj, Jamnagar, Gandhidham, Dharangdhra, Vadodara, and Gandhinagar as well as at forward locations at Naliya, Dwarka, and Amreli.
The Army authorities have also jointly planned the relief operations with civil administration as well as NDRF. The interaction has given all agencies involved in Disaster Management a platform to share their best practices and gain from each other. Representatives of the Indian Army also attended the meeting chaired by the Chief Minister and pledged total support during the time of crisis.
The resources have also been made available from neighboring Rajasthan as well to ensure the minimization of any loss due to the gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
