HYDERABAD: GHMC’s disaster management rescue operations revealed the condition of residents in inundated areas.
Some people stuck inside their homes, who took shelter, were unable to even enter the rescue boat or walk due to health conditions. Staffers had to enter homes and bring them to a safer place by holding them in their arms.
A total of 72 disaster response teams to rescue people and 170 monsoon teams were pressed into service. “In Hazeef Baba Nagar, around 500 people were rescued and across the city more than 2,500 people were rescued,” said Vishwajit Kampati, director of EVDM wing, heading the rescue operation in Hafeez Baba Nagar, Chandrayangutta.
