Navy, NDRF jawans become life-saviors for flood hit people in four states| Mathrubhumi

As many as 83 National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams have been dispatched to four flood-hit states of Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka and Gujarat for rescue and relief operations, the Home Ministry said on Friday.
A dozen rescue teams of the Indian Navy are being deployed in the flood-devastated Sangli district of Western Maharashtra.
The rescue teams left for Sangli on Thursday night by road in state transport vehicles after their airlift was aborted due to unfavourable condition in Sangli and adjoining Kolhapur, another flood-hit district, a defence spokesperson said in a statement.
