NDRF deploys 21, 16 teams in flood-affected areas of Assam, Bihar respectively
National Disaster Response force Director General SN Pradhan informed about the deployment of NDRF teams in flood affected states including Assam and Bihar.
Speaking to ANI, he said, "NDRF has deployed 122 teams in 20 states including 21 in Bihar and 16 in Assam.
Currently, our focus is on Bihar and Assam where operations of rescue and relief are being carried out.
He further continued, "Around 40,000 people have been evacuated in Assam and presence of stagnant water in Assam is huge.
Out of 37, 26-30 villages are affected in some or the other way.
In a way one can say there is widespread in Assam.
I think that water will be stagnant in the affected areas for a while.
Therefore, NDRF teams might have to stay there for over a week."
