Army's rescue ops in flood-hit states: PM to visit Punjab
The Indian Army is working round the clock to help people hit by floods in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir.
Since April 2025, their teams have been active at 75 locations across India.
Prime Minister Modi is set to visit Punjab on September 9 to review the damage from heavy rains and overflowing rivers.
Over 10,000 civilians rescued in Punjab alone
So far, the Army has deployed 126 rescue teams—saving over 21,500 people and giving medical aid to nearly 9,700. In hard-hit Punjab alone, around 10,000 civilians have been rescued.
In Punjab alone, Army helicopters have flown more than 250 hours for evacuations, while engineers built bridges and reinforced riverbanks to keep communities safer.
The Army's "Service Before Self" motto really shines through in these tough times.
