Uttarakhand rescue: Army dogs working in shifts to sniff out survivors
After devastating floods and landslides hit Uttarakhand's Harsil-Dharali valley on August 5, Indian Army dogs have been key to the rescue.
Six trained canines are teaming up with ground-penetrating radar to help find people trapped under debris—these pups can sniff out scents buried as deep as 18 feet.
It's a tough job, but they're working in shifts to cover more ground.
IAF, ISRO join rescue effort
The Indian Air Force has stepped in with helicopters and over 100 personnel to evacuate people and deliver relief supplies.
Communication lines were restored on August 9, making it easier for teams to coordinate.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami shared that about 650 people—including most of the stranded tourists from Maharashtra—have been rescued so far.
Meanwhile, ISRO is supporting the effort with satellite imagery to help teams move faster and safer through the disaster zone.
