In a relief and rescue operation, a team of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) pulled out the four submerged vehicles from the Ganga river after they were swept away in the flooding of rain drain near Kharkhari in Haridwar on Sunday.

These vehicles have been handed over to the district police. These vehicles were swept away in the Ganga River when the rain drain suddenly overflowed near the Kharkhari area after Haridwar was lashed with heavy rains on Saturday. Upon receiving the information, the SDRF team reached the spot and started the relief and rescue operation under the leadership of ASI Pravindra Dhasmana on Saturday.
