NDRF Conducts Rescue Operations Amid Flooding in Pippara Village
Rescue operations in Pippara village are underway as officials respond to severe flooding caused by the rising Pandu River. District magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh, along with CDO Abhinav J Jain, SDM (Sadar) Abhinav Singh, and NDRF team commander Ajay Singh, inspected the relief efforts that commenced on Friday.
The NDRF team has been actively evacuating residents since Thursday night, utilizing motorboats to reach those trapped on the upper floors of homes. Many elderly residents were rescued from dangerous conditions as floodwaters surged to about 6 feet inside several houses. The river, which is now approximately 600 meters from the village, has been rising steadily for three days.
Floodwaters have severely damaged household belongings, submerging motorcycles and forcing families to relocate beds, refrigerators, and essential items to higher ground. Some families have opted to lock their inundated homes and set up roadside tents, where they are currently staying with their belongings, particularly concerned for the safety of children and elderly family members.
