In a prompt and coordinated response to severe flooding in Khadki Village, the Indian Army has launched humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations after receiving an urgent request from the District Magistrate of Ahilyanagar. Located about 20 km from the Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACC&S), Khadki Village has been inundated by continuous heavy rains, with water levels rising to waist height and leaving several residents stranded.
Acting swiftly, a relief column from ACC&S comprising a medical team and an engineering detachment was deployed to provide immediate support. The Army team arrived at the site at 1735 hours and, in coordination with local civil authorities, proceeded to the worst-affected areas. By 1750 hours, rescue and relief operations had commenced, focusing on evacuating marooned individuals and offering on-ground medical assistance.
The Indian Army’s involvement underscores its continued commitment to aiding civil authorities during natural disasters. The deployed personnel are working round-the-clock to ensure the safety of the local population, demonstrating seamless coordination between military and civilian agencies.
This operation highlights the Army’s preparedness and rapid response capabilities during emergencies, particularly in rural and remote areas where access can be limited during natural calamities. The relief effort in Khadki is part of the Indian Army’s broader mandate to serve the nation not only in defense but also in times of humanitarian need.
