A local Priyaranjan Kumar said, “Teams are not carrying out the rescue operation anymore so we trying to help some people who are stuck. The water is very dirty and has seeped into our homes. We are facing a lot of problems as there is no proper drinking water, food.” Whereas, the NDRF officials have been using tractors for carrying out rescue operations.
“The teams are still here. The water level has gone down by 1 ft in some areas. We are using tractors for the rescue operation and will also help in carrying their luggage,” says an official of NDRF team.
