New Delhi, Sep 19
A woman trapped in the debris of a house hit by heavy rain and a landslide in Uttarakhand’s Nanda Nagar area was miraculously rescued safely with the help of local residents.
The incident, which happened on Thursday night, is part of the larger devastation caused by intense rainfall and flash flooding in Chamoli district over the past 48 hours.
Amid ongoing rescue operations, another individual who had remained trapped under the rubble for nearly 16 hours was successfully pulled out alive.
The joint efforts of the police, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and district administration have been crucial in saving lives, like those of the woman and the man, in separate cases. Officials at the site provided immediate first aid before shifting the rescued person to a safer location.
