Days after the flash floods created a havoc in parts of Uttarakhand, the Indian Army continued their relief operations on Sunday. According to news agency ANI, the Indian Army is on its toes with executing the extensive Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations in the Dharali and Harsil of the state.
It has been reported that the Indian Army’s engineering, search, medical, and communication teams are working around the clock to restore connectivity, rescue stranded civilians, and support local communities to restore normalcy in the landslide- and cloudburst-hit areas of Uttarakhand.
The major focus of the troops remains on restoring vital links. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and Army engineers are working hard to construct a 90-foot Bailey Bridge at Limchigarh, even as clearance work is underway on the heavily damaged stretches of road between Gangotri and Uttarkashi. Moreover, a 330-foot cableway is also being built to connect submerged road sections and restore movement on the road as soon as possible.
