The National Disaster Response Force has deployed nine teams in Bihar to assist flood‑affected districts and will stay on standby for further operations.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has mobilised nine rescue and relief teams to various districts of Bihar following heavy rains that have raised flood concerns across the state. The teams, equipped with boats, medical kits and rescue gear, are tasked with evacuating vulnerable populations, delivering essential supplies and supporting local authorities in flood‑prone areas.
Inspector General of Police Narendra Bundela, speaking on the deployment, confirmed that the NDRF units will remain on standby to respond to any escalation of the situation. He emphasized coordination with the state disaster management authority to ensure swift action where needed.
The deployment comes amid heightened vigilance after recent floods in neighboring Nepal, prompting Indian agencies to keep resources ready for any cross‑border impact. Officials have urged residents in low‑lying regions to stay alert and follow safety advisories issued by the government.
Local administration officials have welcomed the NDRF presence, noting that the additional manpower will bolster ongoing rescue operations and help mitigate potential loss of life and property.
The nine teams are expected to operate for the next several days, with periodic assessments to determine if further resources are required.
