News 18  

The Army and the Air Force on Monday undertook rescue and relief operations in West Bengal's Hooghly district, where many areas have been submerged due to excess rainfall and overflowing of rivers, an official said. "Helicopters of Indian Air Force rescued 31 people from rooftops and brought them to safety to Arambagh," he said. "The column rescued a number of marooned villagers," the spokesperson said, adding, it has been stationed in the affected area for further rescue operations. People in several places in Hooghly and other south Bengal districts were in distress owing to inundation of large tracts of land following heavy rain.
