The Uttarakhand State Disaster Response Force which has been working tirelessly in the Haridwar district to rescue people stranded in submerged houses in Haridwar’s flooded districts, has rescued a pregnant mother and a small daughter from Laksar town in Uttarakhand.
After getting information regarding the health of a small girl in a house inundated owing to waterlogging in Laksar, Haridwar district, SDRF arrived on the scene and rescued the girl before transporting her to the hospital.
According to the reports, SDRF Uttarakhand Police responded quickly to a pregnant woman experiencing labor pains at a house swamped owing to waterlogging in Laksar police station, Adarsh Nagar, district Haridwar.
The pregnant mother was transported to a safe location by raft with extreme caution. She was then transported to the hospital by ambulance.
SDRF Uttarakhand Police arrived at the residence after traveling around five kilometers by raft on reports that several persons were stranded in a wet house in Girdhawali Kalsia hamlet, Khanpur region, district Haridwar.
According to the SDRF spokesperson, there were no other residences nearby for several kilometers, and two elderly couples within the house were in great discomfort. The SDRF woke them up and rescued and transported them to safety on rafts.
Aside from that, other people who were trapped there were rescued and transported to safety via rafts.
Flooding has been predicted in the Laksar town in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar district due to prolonged rainfall and a breakdown in the Sonali River dam. The Sonali River dam broke near the village of Kuan Kheda, according to officials.
