As relentless rains trigger widespread flooding across India’s Northeast, the Indian Army has stepped in with full force, rescuing over 3,800 people and launching a region-wide relief mission under Operation Jal Rahat-2.

According to an official release, 40 relief columns have been deployed across Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, where rivers like the Dhansiri and Nambol have breached danger levels, submerging towns and villages and forcing thousands to flee their homes.

Led by Headquarters Inspector General Assam Rifles (North) and working closely with local administrations, the Army’s swift action has been critical in containing the crisis. So far, troops have distributed over 1,361 food packets, handed out 15,421 bottles of clean water, and provided medical assistance to more than 2,000 people.

In Assam, HADR teams were mobilized in the upper districts, particularly around Golaghat, where the Dhansiri river overflowed. Although water levels are now slowly receding, the Army remains on high alert, monitoring the situation and prepared to respond instantly.

In Nagaland, disaster struck Singrijan Colony in Dimapur, prompting the local deputy commissioner to request emergency help. The Army deployed an Engineer Task Force to the area immediately. While the request was later verbally withdrawn, troops and resources remain on standby, ready for rapid redeployment.

Meanwhile, in Manipur, the Nambol river flooded parts of Imphal West and Bishnupur, prompting continued Army engagement in relief operations amid signs of easing water levels.

Though waters may be retreating, the Indian Army's message is clear: they're not standing down until every life is safe and every need is met.
